Mitchell Hashimoto 8d6be5a3dd build: add static library target for libghostty-vt 
Refactor GhosttyLibVt to support both shared and static library
builds via a shared initLib helper that accepts a LinkMode. The
shared and static entry points (initShared, initStatic) delegate
to this common path.

For static builds, compiler_rt and ubsan_rt are bundled to avoid
undefined symbol errors. Debug symbols (dsymutil) are skipped for
static libs since they are not linked. The install artifact uses
a "-static" suffix internally but installs as "libghostty-vt.a"
via a new installLib method. Wasm is excluded from static builds
since it has no meaningful static vs shared distinction.

Example: ghostty-vt Static Linking

This contains a simple example of how to statically link the ghostty-vt C library with a C program using the ghostty-vt-static artifact. It is otherwise identical to the c-vt example.

This uses a build.zig and Zig to build the C program so that we can reuse a lot of our build logic and depend directly on our source tree, but Ghostty emits a standard C library that can be used with any C tooling.

Usage

Run the program:

zig build run
