Boost.Build MSVC fix building PDBs

Description

Currently emitting debug information to PDBs works with a rather limited set of conditions only. Most importantly, static libs can't be compiled if debug-store=database is requested. The attached patch rectifies this deficiency.

The hardest part was to get around problems with precompiled headers. I got it eventually.

What's still missing:

  • port the changes over to msvc.py. Python is completely out of my knowledge domain so I decided to stay away from this file.
  • No matter what I tried, I found no way to move the generated PDBs from the build directories to the output directory alongside the libraries.
