Meson 0.60 switched the format of uninstalled static libraries
to thin archives, that is, they contain only paths to object files,
not the files themselves. Files cannot be extracted in this case,
resulting in build errors:
ar: `x' cannot be used on thin archives.
Handle thin archives when invoking pmdinfogen by directly using the
files referenced in the archive, when they already exist, and extracting
them if not.
