libtool: set libext to lib when using emxomfar

Description

Currently, if you override the librarian with AR=emxomfar (this is what e.g. Firefox does), the strange thing happens: libtoo will call emxomfar to generate a static library in OMF format but will give it the (default) .a extension. This confuses many tools (and in particular breaks the Firefox build since it expects ffi.lib for libffi but gets ffi.a). This needs to be fixed.

An obvious way to fix it is to detect the AR value and set the libext litmain.sh variable accordingly (now it always defaults to a on OS/2).

Done in r1282. libext is now set to lib if AR is emxomfar. Firefox should be happy now.
