meson: do not link libsystemd_static into libcore (#8813)

(or in terms of the names of the actual files on disk, do not link
libsystemd-shared-238.a into libcore.a).

libsystemd_static is linked into libsystemd_shared, which in turn means that
anything that links to libcore and libsystemd_shared will get libsystemd_static
twice:

$ cc -o systemd 'systemd@exe/src_core_main.c.o' -Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now -pie -DVALGRIND -Wl,--start-group src/core/libcore.a src/shared/libsystemd-shared-238.a src/shared/libsystemd-shared-238.so -pthread -lrt -lseccomp -lselinux -lmount -lblkid -Wl,--end-group -lseccomp -lpam -L/lib64 -laudit -lkmod -lmount -lrt -lcap -lacl -lcryptsetup -lgcrypt -lip4tc -lip6tc -lseccomp -lselinux -lidn -llzma -llz4 -lblkid '-Wl,-rpath,$ORIGIN/src/shared' -Wl,-rpath-link,/home/zbyszek/src/systemd/build/src/shared

This propagation of the dependency seems correct (in the sense that meson is
doing the expected thing based on the given configuration). Linking was done
this way in the original meson conversion. I was probably trying to get
everything to compile and link, I'm not sure why this particular choice was
made. In the meantime, meson has gotten better at propagating dependencies, so
it's possible that this had slightly different effect in the original
conversion, but I did not verify this. Either way, I think we should drop this.

With the patch:
$ cc -o systemd 'systemd@exe/src_core_main.c.o' -Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now -pie -DVALGRIND -Wl,--start-group src/core/libcore.a src/shared/libsystemd-shared-238.so -pthread -lrt -lseccomp -lselinux -lmount -Wl,--end-group -lblkid -lrt -lseccomp -lpam -L/lib64 -laudit -lkmod -lselinux -lmount '-Wl,-rpath,$ORIGIN/src/shared' -Wl,-rpath-link,/home/zbyszek/src/systemd/build/src/shared

This is more correct because we're not linking the same code twice.
With the patch, libystemd_static is used in exactly four places:
- src/shared/libsystemd-shared-238.so
- src/udev/libudev.so.1.6.10
- pam_systemd.so
- test-bus-error
(compared to a bunch more executables before, including systemd,
systemd-analyze, test-hostname, test-ns, etc.)

Size savings are also noticable:
