Clarify stance on shipping static libraries

See original GitHub issue

Issue: Guidance on how we want to package static libraries is rather thin.

Windows users are requesting that we ship static libraries to easy pypi packaging.

https://github.com/conda-forge/lcms2-feedstock/pull/8#issuecomment-633565037

A few notes I found about static linking include:

Pinnings for static libraries: https://conda-forge.org/docs/maintainer/pinning_deps.html?highlight=static#globally-pinned-packages
Cmake prefering dynamic of static https://conda-forge.org/docs/maintainer/knowledge_base.html?highlight=static

I guess whatever the decision is, I would like to be able to document it so that I can refer to it in the future.

The 2nd one, but we should clarify how the splitting should be done. (What names and files should go in the output)
