Use target.aix_so_archive to decide to archive shared library in AIX
Previously, AIX support was updated to archive shared libraries per AIX platform conventions, which expect .a files that contain .so files. This is usually correct, but an edge case occurs for loadable plugins, e.g. what meson creates for `shared_module()`. A notable example is python extensions (SciPy, for example). These should *not* be archived, because the .so file itself needs to be loaded as a plugin. For example, SciPy fails to import in the python interpreter. Handle this by differentiating between plugins and regular libraries, and only archiving when safe to do so. Fixes #12219
