rust: add rust_dynamic_std option
As an initial implementation, simply adding "-C prefer-dynamic" works for binary crates (as well as dylib and proc-macro that already used it). In the future this could be extended to other crate types. For more information see the comment in the changed file, as well as https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/8828 and https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/14215.

+## New experimental option `rust_dynamic_std`
+
+A new option `rust_dynamic_std` can be used to link Rust programs so
+that they use a dynamic library for the Rust `libstd`.
+
+Right now, `staticlib` crates cannot be produced if `rust_dynamic_std` is
+true, but this may change in the future.
