[python3] missing python_d.exe

[bansan85]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Can't find python_d.exe despite the debug installation. Tested with python3.10 (6da00e1) and with master (3.11 4a600e9).

Proposed solution

Install a python3d (with debug) in tools folder. I needed to remove line vcpkg_clean_msbuild() for python 3.10 portfile.cmake.

Find enclosed a bash script that create the python3d folder based on the content of python3 folder.

It may be created the same way that the tool python3 (release) in the portfile.cmake.

python3d_creation.sh.txt

Sadly there's no consensus about where debug version of tools should be located (#17607).
For python3, I would prefer tools/python3_d. That way it won't conflict with tools/python3 but will still be searchable using find_program.

Maybe even this would work:

set(Python_FIND_ABI "ON" "ANY" "ANY")
find_package(Python3 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Interpreter)
