Embed PDB in DLL (for more descriptive errors) #82

Makes VS embed the PDB into the DLL for both release and debug configurations. I saw this option for Chaos which really fucking needed it and figured BoneLib might be able to get some use out of it. The only downsides are as follows:

Probably slower exceptions (because the runtime would have to look up the line numbers)
Builder's directory structure (incl. user account name, if built under there, like in the default "repos" folder) being known (not a problem if using Actions to build, but idk if BoneLib does that)
Larger filesize (by probably not a lot)
ermmmm... too useful? idk.
