The Windows build script uses static linking by default, the
reason being that some tests were failing to build otherwise,
mostly due to unspecified dependencies.
Now that the issue was addressed, we can enable dynamic linking
by default.
Worth mentioning that the Ceph MSI build script already uses
dynamic linking.
While at it, we'll drop some duplicate defaults from
"win32_deps_build.sh". For better clarity, we'll avoid exporting
some "win32_build.sh" variables, instead passing them explicitly
to "win32_deps_build.sh".

winpthreads is a library that emulates the pthreads API using
Windows primitives. It's also used by the mingw/gcc libstdc++
for std::thread.
The issue is that winpthreads isn't well maintained. There
have been numerous bugs that haven't been addressed in years.
Specifically, we've been hitting deadlocks because of the
winpthreads rw lock implementation.
This change will allow building Ceph for Windows using mingw/llvm,
which uses libc++ and doesn't rely on winpthreads.

This patch simplifies releasing Windows binaries along with debug
symbols.
By default, we're going to provide minimum debug information (-g1).
The symbols are extracted from the binaries and placed in separate
files in the ".debug" folder, which is used by gdb implicitly.
This is more convenient than having separate versions of the binaries,
with or without debug symbols.

Distributions such as SUSE and Ubuntu differ significantly in their mingw
environments. This adds an OS=(ubuntu|suse) flag, which can be used to
specify which environment is being used for the build. Unless set explicitly,
the scripts will try to automatically detect it.
Depending on the OS selected, various mingw configuration options (binaries,
library paths, etc.) as well as required packages are determined.
Due to these options being configured at runtime, corresponding cmake
files are generated on the fly.
