Help: Document PDB behavior w.r.t. static libraries explicitly (#14600) Document PDB_NAME and PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY as applying only to shared libraries and executables. Add an explicit note to explain why they do not work for static libraries.

.. note::
This property does not apply to STATIC library targets because no linker
is invoked to produce them so they have no linker-generated ``.pdb`` file
containing debug symbols.
Help: Refactor PDB_NAME and PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY docs Move the note about VS 6 into the PDB_NOTE.txt common include file and include it from the per-config properties too. Also re-word the note to clarify the separate compiler and linker flags involved and state explicitly that compiler flags are not affected.

The linker-generated program database files are specified by the
``/pdb`` linker flag and are not the same as compiler-generated
program database files specified by the ``/Fd`` compiler flag.
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.

Use the |COMPILE_PDB_XXX| property to specify the latter.
