Detect dependency changes in Windows rc compiler
The `rc.exe` resource compiler neither provides *depfile* support nor
allows showing includes, as is possible with C or C++ compilers.
Therefore, changes to files included by the `.rc` file did not trigger
recompilation of the resource file.
A workaround was added to *meson* by calling the preprocessor on the
`.rc` file to detect the included headers and adding the result as a
dependency to the resource compilation.
