1d71455306 build: add cross-file for MinGW-w64
Add Meson configuration to cross-compile for Windows using MinGW-w64.
It may require adjustments in some cases, but at least it provides
the foundation.

4816484bab build: support MinGW-w64 with Meson
MinGW-w64 linker does not mimic MS linker options, so the build system
must differentiate between linkers on Windows. Use GNU linker options
with GCC and MS linker options with Clang.

MinGW-w64 by default uses MSVCRT stdio, which does not comply to ANSI,
most notably its formatting and string handling functions. MinGW-w64
support for the Universal CRT (UCRT) is ongoing, but the toolchain
provides its own standard-complying implementation of stdio. The latter
is used in the patch to support formatting in DPDK.
