Recently, it is possible to install Clang with Visual Studio Installer. By default this Clang has a MSVC target, and invokes the Microsoft Linker; if `-fuse-ld=lld` is specified, it will invoke LLD-LINK. Both linkers take MSVC-style arguments, and take DEF files with `/DEF:<path>`. Previously DEF files were passed in the GNU way, directly on the linker command line like an object file, which caused errors like lld-link: error: ..\my.def: unknown file type While Clang-CL takes Unix-style options, it actually passes MSVC-style options to LINK or LLD-LINK with `-Wl,`. There is already a check for both linkers in `linker_to_compiler_args()`, so it's necessary to do the same in `gen_vs_module_defs_args()`. This commit closes mesonbuild#13988.

Clang-CL setups do not work with Meson 1.3 but they are already broken, so let's wait. Reference: mesonbuild/meson#13998 Reference: mesonbuild/meson#14012
