This reverts commit d0cfc20.
Moving the libs specified in LDFLAGS to LDADD put them into the correct placement on in the link command. (cherry picked from commit 10f639e)
Prior to Rust 1.44, Cargo would name static libs with the .lib extension. 1.44 changes this extension to .a when running under a GNU environment on Windows like msys to make it more similar to other unix environments. Now assume static library name to be the same on Windows and unix, but rename the .lib if found to still support older versions of Rust on Windows. (cherry picked from commit f3c59ef)

Our Suricata build on Windows suffered some bit rot, as shown in this Action failure:

diff'ing what changed since the last successful Windows build, one thing that stood out is that the Rust version grabbed viapacman -Su mingw-w64-x86_64-rustjumped from 1.43.0 to 1.48.0. Sure enough, the releases notes for 1.44.0 describes a change as "Rustc now correctly generates static libraries on Windows GNU targets with the .a extension, rather than the previous .lib" That led me to find OISF#5623 where the Suricata maintainers adapted to that change. I cherry-picked the two commits from that PR into this branch and made a companion build-suricata/fix-build-windows-lib branch that points to it, and you can see the successful build in this Actions run:https://github.com/brimsec/build-suricata/runs/1705758315?check_suite_focus=true
