    winbuild: Document CURL_STATICLIB requirement for static libcurl
    
    A static libcurl (ie winbuild mode=static) requires that the user define
    CURL_STATICLIB when using it in their application. This is already
    covered in the FAQ and INSTALL.md, but is a pretty important point so
    now it's noted in the BUILD.WINDOWS.txt as well.
