PDB: Try to find pdb based on exe filename too #8557

Description

@CouleeApps

What is the feature you'd like to have?
I want, when loading an exe/dll, for the PDB loader to search for a pdb file with the same filename as my binary, in addition to whatever pdb name exists in the pdb info section in the binary. That way, if I've renamed foo.exe to bar.exe, it will look for foo.pdb (as specified in the binary based on the original file name) and also bar.pdb (because that's the name of the file now).

Is your feature request related to a problem?
I want to have many copies of the same dll in the same folder, renamed so I can tell which is which, but still be able to load their pdb file without having to specify its path manually.

Are any alternative solutions acceptable?
I could restructure my file organization, which defeats the purpose of the organization. I could manually specify the pdb load path every time, which is tedious.
