The CRT call `getch()` isn't supported on Windows UWP. This function is
used to implement `getpass_r()` for reading a password from the console,
for platforms not supporting it natively. This patch makes this function
a dummy, so password entry from the command-line is no longer supported
for UWP apps. Though it probably did not work before this patch, due to:
CRT headers do declare `getch()`, but it's missing from the CRT DLL.
MSDN documents it as unsupported for UWP:
https://learn.microsoft.com/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/getch
https://learn.microsoft.com/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/getch-getwch
Same is true for the non-deprecated `_getch()` function.
After mingw-w64 synced its implib with `msvcr120_app.dll`, the CI job
`mingw, CM x86_64 schannel R uwp` broke with:
```

Also:
- GHA/windows: bump `msys2/setup-msys2` action to
https://github.com/msys2/setup-msys2/commit/c52d1fa
This triggered the build failure above.
Closes #15597
