Summary0014763: Add target properties to specify MS compiler PDB files
DescriptionAs reported in issue 0014062 and documented in more detail in 0014600, compiler PDB files are different from linker PDB files. The issues were resolved by removing the influence of PDB_NAME and PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY target properties on the /Fd flag of "cl" so that we do not specify the same file as both the compiler and linker program databases.

However, for static libraries there is no linker program database so the compiler program database becomes more important. We need new target properties to control the compiler program database location:

 COMPILE_PDB_NAME[_<CONFIG>]
 COMPILE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY[_<CONFIG>]

I believe COMPILE_PDB_NAME should also vary by configuration - e.g. libsomething3.lib, libsomething3.pdb in Release vs. libsomething3d.lib, libsomething3d.pdb in Debug.

Re 0014763:0035139: Yes, thanks. PDB_NAME_<CONFIG> already exists for linker program database files. I updated the description to add COMPILE_PDB_NAME_<CONFIG>.
