For now, it was only possible to build plugins using GCC on Windows. However, windows-aarch64 only supports Clang.
The first patches (already posted and normally pulled) are fixes and prerequisite to build plugins with meson. They are integrated here because it's not possible to have two based-on in the cover letter. Then, we fix compilation warnings on Windows. After that, we can enable linking with Clang on Windows. Finally, we enhanced the plugin symbols export list (automatically generated, and not a static file), and we report some of the information we discovered on the path in the documentation. Built and tested on Windows (all msys env)/Linux/MacOS for x86_64 and aarch64 hosts.
