meson: Disallow default_library == 'both' on Visual Studio

fanc999-1 · kjellahl · commit 48c88f675f21 · 2023-06-26T11:11:32.000+02:00
We need different defines/cflags for building static and shared builds of
libsigc++, so we can't really support default_library = 'both' for libsigc++
without much retinkering.

So, just disallow such builds at least for now.

Also, save up whether we are attempting a static build in the Visual Studio
build.
