find_library with argument beginning in "lib" is a bad idea, warn about it

We need to support cases where the library might be called "foo.so" and
therefore we check for exact matches too. But this also allows
`cc.find_library('libfoo')` to find libfoo.so, which is strange and
won't work in many cases. Emit a warning when this happens.

Fixes #10838
