Johannes Schindelin 86909a94db ci(windows): build with Rust
The Windows runners used by Git's GitHub workflow's `windows-build` job
ship `rustup` plus a `*-pc-windows-msvc` default toolchain (see
https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/main/images/windows/Windows2022-Readme.md
and
https://github.com/actions/partner-runner-images/blob/main/images/arm-windows-11-image.md),
but no precompiled `std` for `*-pc-windows-gnu` or
`*-pc-windows-gnullvm`. With the Makefile now picking a GCC-compatible
target triple based on `$(MSYSTEM)`, the build step needs that
precompiled `std` to be installed before invoking `make`, otherwise
`cargo build --target <triple>` fails to find a usable `std` for the
chosen target.

Add a step between the SDK setup and the `make` invocation that selects
the matching triple from `$MSYSTEM` (which
`git-for-windows/setup-git-for-windows-sdk` exports for every subsequent
step) and runs `rustup target add` for it. The mapping mirrors what
`config.mak.uname` derives from `$(MSYSTEM)` and `$(HOST_CPU)`, just
enumerated explicitly here since CI has direct knowledge of which MSYS2
subsystems the matrix actually exercises (`CLANGARM64` for the ARM64
runner, `MINGW64` for the x86_64 runner). Technically, we only need to
handle MINGW64 at present, but the switch to UCRT64 is imminent, and the
other case arms serve as a very fine documentation of what people should
do for other MSYSTEM values.

For a `staticlib` crate-type `cargo build` does not invoke an external
linker, so no further toolchain components (e.g. the `gnullvm` LLVM
linker) need to be installed; `rustup target add` alone is sufficient.
