gh-82909: Update PC/pyconfig.h to allow disabling pragma based auto-linking (GH-19740)

Browse source 
Define Py_NO_LINK_LIB to build extension disabling pragma based auto-linking. This is relevant when using build-system generator (e.g CMake) where the linking is explicitly handled

Windows Python is built in Microsoft Visual C++; using other compilers may or
may not work. The rest of this section is MSVC++ specific.
When creating DLLs in Windows, you must pass :file:`pythonXY.lib` to the linker.
To build two DLLs, spam and ni (which uses C functions found in spam), you could
use these commands::
When creating DLLs in Windows, you can use the CPython library in two ways:
cl /LD /I/python/include spam.c ../libs/pythonXY.lib
cl /LD /I/python/include ni.c spam.lib ../libs/pythonXY.lib
1. By default, inclusion of :file:`PC/pyconfig.h` directly or via
:file:`Python.h` triggers an implicit, configure-aware link with the
library. The header file chooses :file:`pythonXY_d.lib` for Debug,
:file:`pythonXY.lib` for Release, and :file:`pythonX.lib` for Release with
the `Limited API <stable-application-binary-interface>`_ enabled.
The first command created three files: :file:`spam.obj`, :file:`spam.dll` and
:file:`spam.lib`. :file:`Spam.dll` does not contain any Python functions (such
as :c:func:`PyArg_ParseTuple`), but it does know how to find the Python code
thanks to :file:`pythonXY.lib`.
To build two DLLs, spam and ni (which uses C functions found in spam), you
could use these commands::
The second command created :file:`ni.dll` (and :file:`.obj` and :file:`.lib`),
which knows how to find the necessary functions from spam, and also from the
Python executable.
cl /LD /I/python/include spam.c
cl /LD /I/python/include ni.c spam.lib
The first command created three files: :file:`spam.obj`, :file:`spam.dll`
and :file:`spam.lib`. :file:`Spam.dll` does not contain any Python
functions (such as :c:func:`PyArg_ParseTuple`), but it does know how to find
the Python code thanks to the implicitly linked :file:`pythonXY.lib`.
The second command created :file:`ni.dll` (and :file:`.obj` and
:file:`.lib`), which knows how to find the necessary functions from spam,
and also from the Python executable.
2. Manually by defining :c:macro:`Py_NO_LINK_LIB` macro before including
:file:`Python.h`. You must pass :file:`pythonXY.lib` to the linker.
To build two DLLs, spam and ni (which uses C functions found in spam), you
could use these commands::
cl /LD /DPy_NO_LINK_LIB /I/python/include spam.c ../libs/pythonXY.lib
cl /LD /DPy_NO_LINK_LIB /I/python/include ni.c spam.lib ../libs/pythonXY.lib
The first command created three files: :file:`spam.obj`, :file:`spam.dll`
and :file:`spam.lib`. :file:`Spam.dll` does not contain any Python
functions (such as :c:func:`PyArg_ParseTuple`), but it does know how to find
