glib/gmodule: Give builder opportunity to change DLL extension

There are a few places where the extension of ".dll" is hard-coded. While it is
true that this is most often the right name, there are circumstances where it
is useful for the person compiling GLib to be able to use something else. For
example, when compiling both 32-bit and 64-bit versions to sit side by side it
is useful to have 32-bit extensions have one suffix (say, .x32) and 64-bit
versions to have another (say, .x64). The attached patch provides the person
compiling GLib with just that flexibility, and doesn't change any defaults.


Just providing the lookup service ;-)
