Prior to this change, the Py_NOGIL macro was not defined when building C API extensions with the `--disable-gil` build on Windows. `Py_NOGIL` was only defined as a pre-processor definition in pyproject.props, but that is not used by C-API extensions. This instead generates the `pyconfig.h` header on Windows as part of the build process. For now, `Py_NOGIL` is the only macro that may be conditionally defined in the generated file.

Would rather have this happen in pythoncore.vcxproj if possible, or _freeze_module.vcxproj if necessary (or both). That way we don't have to rely on building through this file to make sure it happens.
It probably also belongs in the regen.targets file, and can then be referenced from the others.

Honestly, it's probably a better long-term move to get rid of PC/pyconfig.h completely and generate it in Include where the POSIX one would be.
Eventually (though I suspect it's "likely never") we'll get a combined build system. At that point, it'll be much more sensible to have a coherent set of include files.
The code that tries to include header files in installers already assumes it can pick it up directly from a repository checkout (Tools/msi/dev and PC/layout, IIRC). That will need additional logic to pick it up from somewhere else - I'd suggest the build directory $(Py_OutDir) along with every other generated file that we include in the distribution.

Okay, that was a bit of a self-indulgent rewrite that didn't actually make it shorter, simpler, or probably faster 😆
But if you want, we already assume that a copy of Python is available for bootstrapping on Windows (and I believe we require 3.10), so you could make this a Python script. IIRC, $(HostPython) has the location - it should be used elsewhere in regen.targets if you need examples.

Semicolon separated is the usual for MSBuild files. I know I'll think this is wrong every time I see it - can we maybe $(PyConfigArgs.Replace(`;`, `,`)) later if it's really needed?
