Summary: missing symbol CURL_STATICLIB

Initial Comment:
When CURL is compiled with "--disable-shared" and/or "--enable-static", the CURL_STATICLIB symbol is expected to be defined. However, it isn't. So every static build of CURL for Windows fails because of inappropriate dllimport/dllexport declarations in the CURL headers.

The attached patch fixes that issue by adding the missing stub for CURL_STATICLIB to curlbuild.h.in.

Message:
Sorry, but your suggested patch suddenly makes the headers force and assume
that nothing but static can or will be built using the public headers, and
that's an assumption we can't have.

The same set of headers can indeed be used for both static and dynamic
build.
