Subject: [PATCH] Support fully static linking on *nix targets

It adds the proper linker argument for static result objects to `Linker`
and implements them for `GnuLinker` and `MsvcLinker`.

Finally, if no linking preference is given for native libraries
(`NativeLibraryKind::NativeUnknown`), they are linked statically if full
static linking is requested, instead of dynamically as before.
