Instead, I would like to propose that when `--with-external-symbols-in-bundles=public` is set, we continue building them as `library.dll.pdb` and `library.dll.stripped.pdb` into the exploded image. That will preserve the ability to debug the exploded image. When creating jmods we continue to rename and include the `library.dll.stripped.pdb` files instead of the full pdb files. When creating the image in `JDK_IMAGE_DIR`, we only include the stripped variants from the jmods, named `library.dll.pdb`. The full files we copy manually into the `SYMBOLS_IMAGE_DIR` dir instead, also named `library.dll.pdb`.

I just realized we are already putting the pdb files in the `SYMBOLS_IMAGE_DIR`.
