Add a new project
-----------------

For example, add a new _testclinic_limited project to build a new
_testclinic_limited extension, the file Modules/_testclinic_limited.c:

* In PCbuild/, copy _asyncio.vcxproj to _testclinic_limited.vcxproj,
replace RootNamespace value with `_testclinic_limited`, replace
`_asyncio.c` with `_testclinic_limited.c`.
* Open Visual Studio, open PCbuild\pcbuild.sln solution, add the
PCbuild\_testclinic_limited.vcxproj project to the solution ("add existing
project).
* Add a dependency on the python project to the new _testclinic_limited
project.
* Save and exit Visual Studio.
* Add `;_testclinic_limited` to `<TestModules Include="...">` in
PCbuild\pcbuild.proj.
* Build Python from scratch (clean the solution) to check that the new project
is built successfully.
