LGTM otherwise, but maybe @eli-schwartz or @xclaesse will want to comment since they're more up-to-date on the compilers/linkers classes. |

@amyspark could you please add a test for this? I'm surprised this wasn't already caught by CI. |

@bruchar1 can you test this? |
Currently, not only Meson lacks a way to induce a "--fatal-warnings" on LINK.exe, it is also unable to pass flags appropriately when using clang-cl or Microsoft's stock clang. This commit fixes it by implementing `fatal_warnings()` in the MSVCDynamicLinker and ClangCLDynamicLinker classes, and by implementing the requisite conversion steps in linker_to_compiler_args for ClangCompiler.
The latter prefers LINK.exe by default, which rejects GNU-like linker flags.

This PR fixes passing and detection of link arguments when using Microsoft's linker in combination with clang-cl or stock clang.
Currently, not only Meson lacks a way to induce a
--fatal-warningson LINK.exe, thus rendering all flag detection morose, it is also unable to pass flags appropriately by wrapping them in-Wl,.This commit fixes it by implementing
fatal_warnings()in the MSVCDynamicLinker and ClangCLDynamicLinker classes, and by implementing the requisite conversion steps in linker_to_compiler_args for ClangCompiler.
