Meson versions >= 0.54.0 include support for handling /implib with msvc link. Specifying it explicitly causes failures when linking against the dll. Tested using Link 14.27.29112.0 and Clang 11.0.0.
There were a number of changes to the way that import libraries are handled between 0.47.1 and 0.54.0. Only make the change for >= 0.54.0, leaving the behaviour unchanged for earlier versions.
