Provide pdb files for Windows builds #149

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Debugging JVM crashes is challenging with just a hard crash showing an NPE somewhere in jvm.dll. With the recent AWT RDP headless bugs, there have been a number of these cases. Very frustrating to try to solve by blindly updating to latest JVM and hoping the bug is fixed.

Describe a solution you would like

Provide symbols for the Windows builds, or at least provide them in the nightly fastdebug builds.

Describe alternatives you have considered

Building the JVM myself, archiving the symbols, and distributing the self-built JVM, but it's a massive undertaking and loses out on the benefit of having an industry-standard JVM build in production

Additional context

For example Microsoft is able to provide stripped symbols for all Windows DLLs, so clearly the symbols don't harm performance much
