gh-138489: Add build-details.json generation to PC/layout

[zooba]

• Issue: PEP 739 build-details.json is missing on some platforms #138489

[zooba]

Supersedes #138490, and deliberately omits changes to the (deprecated) MSI installer, largely because there's no real value in dealing with the complexity of having multiple overlapping installs.

@hugovk Any chance of a beta 2 exception for this one (adds a new file to the file system layout)? No functional change to the runtime, and the PEP isn't new, we just never got around to implementing it for Windows until now.

[hugovk]

@zooba Yes, that's fine. Thanks for working on this.

For reviewers' sake, here's a sample file as generated by this script for a regular amd64 release from main:

LGTM. I am away from my dev box, though, and thus couldn't test locally.

[zooba]

Whoops, pushed test fixes for the wrong PR. Reverted now - sorry Vinay
