Brad King aae5184c16 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.

.. 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.
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.
This property does not influence the latter.
This property is not implemented by the :generator:`Visual Studio 6`
generator.
