Fixes #118860. This PR adds a small section to PCbuild/readme.txt clarifying the use of Py_OutDir for custom output directories and PC/layout for creating install-shaped layouts, as suggested by the maintainers in the issue thread.

Please don't force push. We always squash merge and rewrite commit messages at the end, so the history won't be in the repository.

All that force pushing achieves is to break incremental reviews - we now have to re-read your entire contribution and guess what has changed, rather than being able to see the difference from recent commits. This will slow down our review.

@zooba Understood! I'll avoid force-pushing and just append new commits for any future changes to preserve the incremental review history. Thanks for pointing that out!
