Brad King c0897cfad0 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.

PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
--------------------
Output directory for the MS debug symbols ``.pdb`` file
generated by the linker for an executable or shared library target.
This property specifies the directory into which the MS debug symbols
will be placed by the linker. This property is initialized by the
value of the :variable:`CMAKE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY` variable if it is
set when a target is created.
.. include:: PDB_NOTE.txt
This property is not implemented by the :generator:`Visual Studio 6`
generator.
