Brad King fba51b096e MSVC: Add properties to configure compiler PDB files (#14762)
Since commit v2.8.12~437^2~2 (VS: Separate compiler and linker PDB files
2013-04-05) we no longer set /Fd with the PDB_NAME or PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
properties.  Those properties now exclusively handle linker PDB files.
Since STATIC libraries do not link their compiler PDB file becomes more
important.  Add new target properties "COMPILE_PDB_NAME[_<CONFIG>]" and
"COMPILE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY[_<CONFIG>]" to specify the compiler PDB
file location and pass the value to the MSVC /Fd option.

COMPILE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_<CONFIG>
-------------------------------------
Per-configuration output directory for the MS debug symbol ``.pdb`` file
generated by the compiler while building source files.
This is a per-configuration version of
:prop_tgt:`COMPILE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY`,
but multi-configuration generators (VS, Xcode) do NOT append a
per-configuration subdirectory to the specified directory. This
property is initialized by the value of the
:variable:`CMAKE_COMPILE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_<CONFIG>` variable
if it is set when a target is created.
