Windows builds of the GTK frontend use the pie flag to compile hexchat.exe. Windows needs an explicit entrypoint when compiling with --pie, otherwise an invalid executable is created. This sets the entrypoint of the executable on Windows (as it is currently set in the Visual Studio project files). This fixes a critical build issue which prevents all Windows builds using Meson from working.
