mcompile: add suffix as an additional parameter

Since the previous commit allows for more scenarios with name
collisions, it makes sense to expand the compile command so that it can
also take into account suffixes. i.e. meson compile -C build foo.exe can
now work if the executable has an exe suffix along with being named foo.

+## Meson compile command now accepts suffixes for TARGET
+
+The syntax for specifying a target for meson compile is now
+`[PATH_TO_TARGET/]TARGET_NAME.TARGET_SUFFIX[:TARGET_TYPE]` where
+`TARGET_SUFFIX` is the suffix argument given in the build target
+within meson.build. It is optional and `TARGET_NAME` remains
+sufficient if it uniquely resolves to one single target.
