meson.build: Disable OpenMP on MSVC builds

The implementation of OpenMP is not compliant for our uses, so disable
it for now by just not checking for it on MSVC builds, as we implicitly
add an /openmp switch to the build, which will cause linking the tests
programs to fail, as the OpenMP implementation is not enough.
