Joe DiPrimaandClaude Fable 5 2cbf9cd88f mkdist: archive the .map beside the .pdb, and stop shipping d3dx9_43.dll twice
Symbols only matter if they survive the build that produced them, so archive
BOTH per version, not just the PDB. The .map is the one that gets used in
practice: tools/symcrash.py resolves btl4+0xNNNN from plain text with no
debugger installed, which is the normal state of an operator box -- this
machine has no cdb either. Warns loudly if either file is missing, since that
silently means a crash in that build can never be read.

Also: d3dx9_43.dll was written into the zip twice. It exists both next to the
exe and in redist/, and both paths land at build/Release/<name> in the archive,
so the entry was duplicated -- about 2 MB wasted and a duplicate-name warning
from Python's zipfile that some extractors also complain about. Redist entries
now skip anything already taken from beside the exe.

Neither the pdb nor the map can reach a zip: .gitignore covers *.pdb and dist/,
and the archive only ever picks up .dll from those directories.
