[CMake] find_library doesn't find .dll on windows

[Romain LEGUAY]

Thank you for your answer.

I just want to find the file libmysql.dll because it's needed to be used
with Qt (unless I did not understand how to use Qt's MySQL driver).
For now, I just do a simple copy of this file in my build folder, but it's
not a good method.
