The .fa suffix was a temporary hack introduced in commit

build system was mixed between meson & makefiles. It is no longer
needed.
It is still needed to separate internal and system archives, otherwise
the oss-fuzz build fails. Meson adds a --start-group/--end-group pair
around all libraries, and the fork-fuzz.ld linker script should be
outside it. If the libraries are named .a, the --start-group is placed
much earlier.
This is of course a very ugly workaround; Meson should just use the
objects instead of the archives when link_whole is used with an internal
convenience archive.
