Strip debug build from the installers

Description

There is little to no value left is end users getting a debug build.  

OTOH for development some people (I) find having the debug DLLs deployed helpful.

So this work item consists of conditionalizing the build such that is can be built with the debug DLLs.

Done.  Settign DEBUG_INSTALLER=YES causes the debug stuff to be put in otherwise it isn;t,

Under the lmited build we actually no longer build the debug variants when we do a

nmake/f build.make

However the dependency build still builds both,

As an aside when  was testing this I had  a glitch with the debug executable under Srv2016, but I suspect it was either the version pf ucrtbased I'd pockled in or some other issue.  The debug install worked (no missed dependencies) which was the import and the release install functioned after update.

 

the output artefacts are less than half the size which may need to be release noted.

Done
