[Spice-devel] [spice-gtk] build-sys:tests: Error out unless --enable-static is used

The binaries in tests/ need a static build of spice-gtk libraries in
order to be built, but by default, we disable static libraries at
LT_INIT() time.
As the compile failure can be quite cryptic when someone
tries to manually run 'make -C tests', this commit adds an explicit
error message when trying to build the tests without --enable-static.
