This more closely matches the behaviour of CMake when adding rc files to
targets.

This change allows users to use macro values defined by Visual Studio in
library names, which might be useful e.g. when selecting different
libraries based on the build configuration.

If the filename of a library contains a special character that would
have a special meaning in the Visual Studio project file, you must use
the ASCII escape sequence for this character instead ("$" becomes "%24",
"%" becomes "%25").

This escaping will happen automatically for non-user-specified library
dependencies, including windows libraries specified in module header
blocks, and the plugin shared code target.

This reverts commit a71bda9adb.

This ensures that solution files have correctly numbered icons in
Windows Explorer.

5f7ad995af introduced an issue where the
string of external libraries would be escaped in one go. This is
incorrect, because only the individual paths should be escaped. The
semicolons separating each path should not be escaped.

Without the BOM, VS assumes UTF-8 strings (subproject file names etc.)
are ansi-encoded.

When building a static library, VS2019 replaces the generated link pdb file with the one created during compilation due to a broken copy step in Microsoft.CppCommon.targets. This workaround generates the pdb in the output directory so the copy step is skipped.
