This PR addresses an issue that can be observed when building on Windows with configure options `--enable-linkable-runtime` and `--with-external-symbols-in-bundles=public`.
The problem is that whith this special build configuration, we build two sets of .pdb files for the binaries. The first set is the standard debug symbols file named <binary-name>.pdb. The second set is a stripped debug symbols file called <binary-name>.stripped.pdb which has less information but enought to present line numbers in hs-err files.
During build we use the *.stripped.pdb files for compiling the jmods and also the bundle files. However, in the images folder, both sets of .pdb files exist. The tests for runtime linking will now, in the absence of jmod files, pick up the .pdb files (without *stripped*) from images, but in the runtime the hashes of the *stripped* files are stored.
With this change, the standard .pdb files in the `--with-external-symbols-in-bundles=public` configuration are now the stripped files and we create a set of full pdb files named *.full.pdb. Jmods and Bundles still contain the stripped pdb files and we also fix the issue that the debug symbols bundle also contained stripped pdb files so far. With this fix, it will contain the full pdb files and extracting these over a JDK runtime will replace stripped pdbs with full pdbs.
