interpreter: add <lang>_(static|shared)_args
Which allow passing arguments specifically to the static or shared libraries. For design, this is all handled in the interpreter, by the build layer the arguments are combined into the existing fields. This limits changes required in the mid and backend layers

+## `<lang>_(shared|static)_args` for both_library, library, and build_target
+
+We now allow passing arguments like `c_static_args` and `c_shared_args`. This
+allows a [[both_libraries]] to have arguments specific to either the shared or
+static library, as well as common arguments to both.
+
+There is a drawback to this, since Meson now cannot re-use object files between
+the static and shared targets. This could lead to much higher compilation time
+when using a [[both_libraries]] if there are many sources.
