Subject: [PATCH] bintools-wrapper: Also define `RC<suffix>`

Additionally, if there is a `windres` but no `rc`, `RC<suffix>` is
defined to point to `WINDRES<suffix>`.

My justification is essentially what I wrote in
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/15438. Microsoft recommends
`RC`, CMake only supports `RC`, and Meson now supports both. In
addition, CMake and Meson are fine with "reversed" usage like
`RC=windres` and `WINDRES=rc`, so this simple defaulting logic should be
fine.
