   As far as how this should work from the user perspective, I think there should just be an MSBuild property that informs the SDK which kind of library to build. NativeAOT has already introduced the NativeLib property for this; the name is a bit unfortunate, but there is probably value in standardizing on it. It accepts Shared (default) and Static. We might extend it to also accept Both.

   This is complicated somewhat by needing to invoke zig ar/zig lib to actually create the static library for C/C++ projects. For Zig code, zig build-lib -static takes care of it automatically.
