Description

With THRIFT-5109 the LIB_INSTALL_DIR for MSVC libs chanaged from lib/ to bin/ regardless if shared or static libraries were built.

While for shared MSVC libraries, installation to bin/ folder is correct, the commonly used installation path of static libraries (not only for MSVC) is the lib/ folder. The changes made in THRIFT-5109 do not distinguish between static and shared MSVC libs.

Static MSVC libraries should be installed into the lib/ folder, as it has been done in 0.13.0.
