Commit dd2107497275 ("tests/libqtest: Use libqtest-single.h in tests that require global_qtest")
moved global_qtest to libqtest-single.h, by declaring global_qtest
attribute to be common and weak.

This trick unfortunately does not work on Windows, and building
qtest test cases results in multiple definition errors of the weak
symbol global_qtest, as Windows PE does not have the concept of
the so-called weak symbol like ELF in the *nix world.

However Windows does provide a trick to declare a variable to be
a common symbol, via __declspec(selectany) [1]. It does not provide
the "strong override weak" effect but we don't need it in our use
case anyway. So let's use it for win32.
