[PATCH 6/8] Fix linking shared library on Cygwin

[Vladimir Panteleev]

From: Vladimir Panteleev <vladimir at thecybershadow.net>

Apparently due to historical reasons, when given -lfoo, Cygwin's ld
will prefer to link against libfoo.a over libfoo.so (or even
libfoo.dll). As such, we need to explicitly specify the library file
name when on Cygwin to avoid creating a broken notmuch-shared binary.

* Makefile.global: Use -l:libnotmuch.so instead of -lnotmuch on
  Cygwin.
