Force all native libraries to be statically linked when linking a static binary

Previously, `#[link]` without an explicit `kind = "static"` would confuse the linker and end up producing a dynamically linked library because of the `-Bdynamic` flag. However this binary would not work correctly anyways since it was linked with startup code for a static binary.

This PR solves this by forcing all native libraries to be statically linked when the output is a static binary that cannot link to dynamic libraries anyways.

Fixes rust-lang#108878
Fixes rust-lang#102993
