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.
