Windows: Static libraries should end with .lib not .a when using the MSVC ABI install #29508

Description

@pjmlp

The standard extension for Windows static libraries is .lib.

By keeping the .a extension while using the MSVC ABI, we are forced to rename the files when integrating Rust libraries into compiler chains that expect .lib as an extension.

Reopening the bug here as suggested by alexcrichton (rust-lang/cargo#2100)
