build: use suffix when getting target id for exes
When checking target names, meson explictly forbids having multiple targets with the same name. This is good, but it is strict and it is impossible to have targets with the same basename and differing suffixes (e.g. foo and foo.bin) in the same directory. Allow this for executables by including the suffix (if it exists) in the interal target id. So foo would be foo@exe and foo.bin would be foo.bin@exe.
