build: Introduce SECP256K1_STATIC macro for Windows users

It is a non-Libtool-specific way to explicitly specify the user's
intention to consume a static `libseck256k1`.

This change allows to get rid of MSVC linker warnings LNK4217 and
LNK4286. Also, it makes possible to merge the `SECP256K1_API` and
`SECP256K1_API_VAR` into one.
