Fix the significant perf regression for vcpkg jobs by switching to the MSYS2 shell environment from Git for Windows. This env is already used for old-mingw-w64 job that remained unaffected by this issue. The issue began with the windows-runner update 20241015.1.0. It bumped Git for Windows from Git 2.46.2.windows.1 to Git 2.47.0.windows.1. GfW bumped its MSYS2 components, including `msys-2.0.dll`. That's Cygwin code, which may have contributed to this. Pipes were involved and `runtests.pl` relies on pipes heavily in parallel mode. (The issue was not seen with parallel tests disabled, in retrospect.) This is useful as a permanent solution too. It drop GfW as a dependency and makes Windows jobs use one less shell/env flavour. Long term it might help to use native Windows Perl to avoid the MSYS layer completely, if there is a way to make that work.
