[issue46427] Correct MSBuild's configuration for _freeze_module.exe

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower <steve.dower at python.org> added the comment:

Windows ARM64 devices all support x86 and x64 emulation, so while it's less than ideal performance-wise to use a non-native build for this step, it's hardly fatal. That step doesn't rely on the underlying architecture, just the current Python bytecode format (which is platform independent).

Leaving the Platform blank is not acceptable. It needs to be set to the preferred tool architecture, which as it happens, is $(PreferredToolArchitecture).

As I said, if you've hit a *real* issue around this, please describe it. There is no theoretical issue here, and as far as I'm aware, no practical issues either.
