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.

-----------------------
* New :prop_tgt:`COMPILE_PDB_NAME` and
:prop_tgt:`COMPILE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY` target properties
were introduced to specify the MSVC compiler program database
file location (``cl /Fd``). This complements the existing
:prop_tgt:`PDB_NAME` and :prop_tgt:`PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY`
target properties that specify the linker program database
file location (``link /pdb``).
