As discovered in rust-lang#20376, the MSYS shell will silently rewrite arguemnts that look like unix paths into their windows path counterparts for compatibility, but the recently added `:kind` syntax added to the `-L` flag does not allow for this form of rewriting. This means that the syntax can be difficult to use at an MSYS prompt, as well as causing tests to fail when run manuall right now. This commit takes the other option presented in the original issue to prefix the path with `kind=` instead of suffixing it with `:kind`. For consistence, the `-l` flag is also now migrating to `kind=name`. This is a breaking change due to the *removal* of behavior with `-L`. All code using `:kind` should now pass `kind=` for `-L` arguments. This is not currently, but will become, a breaking change for `-l` flags. The old `name:kind` syntax is still accepted, but all code should update to `kind=name`. [breaking-change] Closes rust-lang#20376

As discovered in #20376, the MSYS shell will silently rewrite arguemnts that
look like unix paths into their windows path counterparts for compatibility, but

This commit takes the other option presented in the original issue to prefix the
path with
kind=instead of suffixing it with:kind. For consistence, the-lflag is also now migrating tokind=name.This is a breaking change due to the removal of behavior with
-L. All codeusing
:kindshould now passkind=for-Larguments. This is not currently,but will become, a breaking change for
