Description
I think the code part for this is in here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-bindgen/blob/50ec3ee0d9436ff0d6e50c5ff59bf05ef137b386/bindgen/codegen/dyngen.rs#L176
where would it be possible to just have like .dynamic_no_methods(true)

Research direction
Start in bindgen/codegen/dyngen.rs around line 176, then trace how dynamic-linking options are represented and exposed. Define the expected behavior for dynamic_no_methods(true) from the generated bindings, and verify that dynamic linking can omit generated methods while preserving the existing default behavior.
