vlc/vlc-3.0 | branch: master | Steve Lhomme <robux4 at ycbcr.xyz> | Fri Feb 22 15:40:03 2019 +0100| [837088118599de4dc5c7f71f9a07de7b5f71bdfe] | committer: Steve Lhomme

configure: add an option to generate PDB files when building

This will only be enabled when building windows targets and will only work when
compiling with Clang.

(cherry picked from commit cb3e3498d8269e21490dc4db5a98b89523a0b00e) (rebased)

rebased:
- the code around the added AM_CONDITIONAL is different in this branch
