Move static libs and link files into dev packages (#678)
Normally the "library" packages on Debian an RHEL contain only shared library files. Headers, static libraries, and shared library links go into the "development" package which is necessary to build software that uses the library (but not run it). On RHEL the static libraries are often moved into their own "-static" package to avoid bloating the "-devel" package (as dynamic linkage is customary). Historically, we've been putting everything into the "library" package but let's follow the conventions from now on. We already recommend to install "development" packages to develop software that uses Themis. Some language wrappers -- dynamic languages like Python and Ruby -- will need that as they resolve Themis dynamic library dynamically and need the symlink to be present.
