Adding feature for linking C Run-Time library on Windows

By default, we use /MT(/MTd for debug mode) and link to
libcmt.lib(libcmtd.lib).

Users can set USE_DYNAMIC_CRT=1 or add --action_env=USE_DYNAMIC_CRT=1 to
switch to /MD and msvcrt.lib (/MDd and msvcrtd.lib for debug mode)

Fixed bazelbuild#2120
