meson: accept either shared or static libraries if --disable-static
Meson's "static" argument to cc.find_library is a tri-state. By default Meson *prefers* a shared library, which basically means using -l to look for it; instead, "static: false" *requires* a shared library. Of course, "static: true" requires a static library, which is all good for --enable-static builds. For --disable-static, "static: false" is rarely desirable; it does not match what the configure script used to do and the test is more complex (and harder to debug if it fails, which was reported by Peter Lieven for librbd).
