FEAT: PDB File generation to make Private symbols for DDBC Bindings

[bewithgaurav]

Summary

This pull request introduces changes to improve debugging support for the ddbc_bindings project by enabling PDB (Program Database) file generation and ensuring proper handling of these files during the build process. The changes primarily focus on updating the CMake configuration and build script.

Debugging Support Improvements:

• Enabled PDB generation for MSVC builds in Release mode: Added compile and link options in CMakeLists.txt to ensure PDB files are generated when building with MSVC in Release mode. (mssql_python/pybind/CMakeLists.txt, mssql_python/pybind/CMakeLists.txtR8-R13)

• Configured PDB properties for ddbc_bindings target: Set properties in CMakeLists.txt to specify the PDB file name and output directory for the ddbc_bindings target. (mssql_python/pybind/CMakeLists.txt, mssql_python/pybind/CMakeLists.txtR113-R119)

• Handled PDB file copying in build script: Updated build.bat to check for the existence of the PDB file after the build, copy it to the appropriate directory if found, and log diagnostic messages for success or warnings if the file is missing. (mssql_python/pybind/build.bat, mssql_python/pybind/build.batR147-R155)

Pull Request Overview

This PR adds PDB file generation for MSVC Release builds and updates the build script to copy PDBs alongside the generated PYD for improved debugging support.

• Enable /Zi compile and /DEBUG link options for MSVC in Release mode
• Set PDB name and output directory properties on the ddbc_bindings target
• Extend build.bat to detect and copy the generated PDB file, logging success or warning

• The batch variable %PYTAG% may not match ${PYTHON_VERSION} used in CMake for naming PDB files. Ensure the same version variable is used so the script looks for the correct file name.
