MSVC: Fix installation of PDB files for static libraries

Commit 3d3d65f5 separated the PDB files for compiling and linking. Only
the PDB file the linker produces would be installed. However, this does
not work for static libraries as the LIB tool does not create a PDB file
from the compiler's PDB file. This patch turns the separation between
PDB files off for static libraries.
