[New-bugs-announce] [issue21107] Add pgen.vcxproj to allow regenerating grammar files on Windows

[Zachary Ware]

New submission from Zachary Ware:

Here's a patch to allow building (and using) pgen on Windows.

All changes outside of PCbuild are solely to avoid compiler warnings, namely 4 instances of C4005 for PGEN being redefined and 2 instances of C4018, "'<' : signed/unsigned mismatch".

pgen.vcxproj is in large part copied directly from _freeze_importlib.vcxproj (and modified appropriately).

pgen is not set to build on any solution configuration, but it happily builds from a clean checkout so pythoncore.vcxproj could be made to depend on it.
