-mbig-obj is incompatible with -flto on mingw compiler and cause problems linking the library in a project

[VasiliPupkin256]

I think this is a bug in mingw compiler, but this library adds the switch to its interface

fmt/CMakeLists.txt

Lines 251 to 256 in c5aafd8

	if (MINGW)
	check_cxx_compiler_flag("-Wa,-mbig-obj" FMT_HAS_MBIG_OBJ)
	if (${FMT_HAS_MBIG_OBJ})
	target_compile_options(fmt PUBLIC "-Wa,-mbig-obj")
	endif()
	endif ()

and this trigger errors "plugin needed to handle lto object"

My system is Ubuntu 20.04 and I am compiling with 86_64-w64-mingw32

May be the requirement can be relaxed for 64 bit projects? What was the reason to include the flag into the config?

IIRC it was added in response to reports similar to #1684. I think it should be OK to remove it as it is easy to add compiler flags via CMake or at least make it an opt in. A PR would be welcome.
