The msvcrt library isn't a pure import library; it does contain
regular object files with wrappers/fallbacks, and these can require
linking against kernel32.
This only makes a difference when linking with ld.bfd, as lld
always searches all static libraries.
This matches a similar change made recently in gcc in
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commitdiff;h=850533ab160ef40eccfd039e1e3b138cf26e76b8,
although clang adds --start-group --end-group around these libraries
if -static is specified, which gcc doesn't. But try to match gcc's
linking order in any case, for consistency.

Since SVN r314138, we check if the user has specified any particular
alternative msvcrt/ucrt version, and skip the default -lmsvcrt
in those cases.
In addition to the existing names checked, we should also treat
a plain -lucrt in the same way, mingw-w64 has now added a separate
import library named libucrt.a, in addition to libucrtbase.a.
