For users using both C/C++ and Rust, it's useful to have access to the mimalloc include directory in the build-script (of crates directly depending on `libmimalloc-sys`). This allows using the header in user build-scripts, without needing to vendor the mimalloc header. This mechanism is also already used in crates like libz-sys, see https://github.com/rust-lang/libz-sys/blob/80c597a07f5e5f0dff0e98c03d48a77845de9f6e/build.rs#L171 See <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/build-scripts.html#the-links-manifest-key> for documentation.
