static-libs - Build static libraries

This can be ambiguous as some packages (like SDL2 - after I apply the
necessary patch) have libraries that are not supposed to be dynamic at
all.

An alternative description would be:
static-libs - Build static versions of dynamic libraries as well

that makes clear that
a) it's about _additionally_ installing static libraries
and
b) there is a dynamic "counterpart" of that library

This is often a confusing topic for new ebuild writers. The
description might help with that too.

Are there any known exceptions that would need a local description
after this change?
