Summary: bjam on MinGW: long archive member names: bug + proposed fix

Initial Comment:
bjam fails to process archive members with long names 
(longer than 15 characters): it always reports them as 
missing (and, as a consequence, always rebuilds).

OS: Windows NT
Toolset: MinGW
AR version: GNU ar 2.13
bjam version: 3.1.7

As far as i understand, it happens because this version 
of AR appends '\n' to the end of long file names in .a 
file's string table. (I don't know if the same problem 
exists in other toolsets/versions.)

I've attached a diff for a fix that works for me. I believe 
it should not break anything.
