build: add cmake static library support

Expose both shared and static libraries as separate CMake imported
targets (ghostty-vt and ghostty-vt-static) rather than toggling
between them with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS. The zig build already produces
both in a single invocation, so both are always available.

The find_package config template is updated to export both targets
as ghostty-vt::ghostty-vt and ghostty-vt::ghostty-vt-static.

Add a c-vt-cmake-static example that demonstrates linking the static
library via FetchContent with -Dsimd=false to avoid C++ runtime
dependencies.

# c-vt-cmake-static
Demonstrates consuming libghostty-vt as a **static** library from a CMake
project using `FetchContent`. Creates a terminal, writes VT sequences into
it, and formats the screen contents as plain text.
## Building
```shell-session
cd example/c-vt-cmake-static
cmake -B build
cmake --build build
./build/c_vt_cmake_static
```
To build against a local checkout instead of fetching from GitHub:
```shell-session
cmake -B build -DFETCHCONTENT_SOURCE_DIR_GHOSTTY=../..
cmake --build build
```
