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:
```shell-session
zig build run
```
