The issue is that when with new response files the names of libraries we're
trying to link to is not emitted with "bjam -n", so remove "-n" and explicitly
look in response files.

Thanks to Toon Knapen for the bug report.
* tools/builtin.jam
(archiving-generator.run): Add <library> properties to sources.
* test/library_chain.py: New test.

would force us to relink all libraries when staging.
Now that libraries do not hardcode dll paths, add a check that correct
-rpath-link options are added. When staging, we don't hardcode-dll-paths,
and libraries never hardcode dll paths, so if there's a long chain of
libraries, we should add -rpath-link, otherwise the linker won't find
the dynamic libraries and will complain.

lib png : z : <name>png ;
lib z : : <name>z ;
now works: if you link to 'png' you'll also link to 'z'.
lib png : z : <file>png.a ;
lib z : : <file>z.a ;
now works too. The 'prebuilt.jam' modules which used to handle <file> for
all target kinds is now removed.
