Fix linking statics on Arm64EC
Arm64EC builds recently started to fail due to the linker not finding a symbol:
```
symbols.o : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol #_ZN3std9panicking11EMPTY_PANIC17hc8d2b903527827f1E (EC Symbol)
C:\Code\hello-world\target\arm64ec-pc-windows-msvc\debug\deps\hello_world.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
```
It turns out that `EMPTY_PANIC` is a new static variable that was being exported then imported from the standard library, but when exporting LLVM didn't prepend the name with `#` (as only functions are prefixed with this character), whereas Rust was prefixing with `#` when attempting to import it.
The fix is to have Rust not prefix statics with `#` when importing.
Adding tests discovered another issue: we need to correctly mark static exported from dylibs with `DATA`, otherwise MSVC's linker assumes they are functions and complains that there is no exit thunk for them.
CI found another bug: we only apply `DllImport` to non-local statics that aren't foreign items (i.e., in an `extern` block), that is we want to use `DllImport` for statics coming from other Rust crates. However, `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable` is a static generated by the Rust compiler if required, but downstream crates consider it a foreign item since it is declared in an `extern "Rust"` block, thus they do not apply `DllImport` to it and so fails to link if it is exported by the previous crate as `DATA`. The fix is to apply `DllImport` to foreign items that are marked with the `rustc_std_internal_symbol` attribute (i.e., we assume they aren't actually foreign and will be in some Rust crate).
Fixes #138541
