MSVC: Revert "Teach find_library to consider the 'libfoo.a' naming convention" (!7962) · Merge requests · CMake / CMake

Brad King requested to merge brad.king/cmake:revert-find_library-msvc-libfoo.a into master Nov 28, 2022

Revert !7694 (merged). When targeting the MSVC ABI, this causes GNU-ABI libraries to be found in cases they were not previously, and broke existing builds. Revert the change pending further discussion on how to handle the motivating use case.
