Makes
--staticopt in to static linking on Windows. Also makes the Windows binaries dynamically linked.Dynamic linking is now the default, and the
-Dpreview_dllflag has no effect after this PR. Building a dynamically linked compiler from 1.11.x still needs this flag though, because the base compiler doesn't incorporate this PR yet.Note that linking against
vcruntimemeans that the VC++ Redistributable is now required to run the compiler. The GUI installer must later be able to detect its installation (e.g. via the registry keyHKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\VC\Runtimes\X64\Installed).
