delthas c2cdf0d2a1 win32: Disable ASLR for Windows debug builds
GDB is usually able to debug executables with ASLR by temporarily
disabling ASLR when running that executable. This is only supported on
Linux. On Windows, GDB cannot debug ASLR executables.

This removes the dynamicbase linker flag on Windows for debug builds in
order to be able to debug that executable later.

Hardening an executable with ASLR is important for release builds, but
for debug builds being able to debug is much more important.

delthas 83daed8706 win32: Fix building executables with invalid entrypoints
Windows builds of the GTK frontend use the pie flag to compile
hexchat.exe. Windows needs an explicit entrypoint when compiling with
--pie, otherwise an invalid executable is created.

This sets the entrypoint of the executable on Windows (as it is
currently set in the Visual Studio project files).

This fixes a critical build issue which prevents all Windows builds
using Meson from working.
