Re: [PATCH v2 1/1] meson.build: Add --enable-pdb option

This option will (attempt to) modify the QEMU compile and link flags to
emit PDB symbol files rather than the standard (DWARF?) symbol output
from gcc/clang. Prerequisites for this are host_os == Windows and
--enable-debug flag set.

This enables using native Windows debug tools (Windbg/Visual Studio) for
debugging QEMU.
