[Feature] Add Prebuilds for Windows

For a long time, I get issues from new users with
QArchive compile errors, mostly from Windows because
it's not developer friendly. Also most of the users
want to try this out with ease, so I introduce prebuilds
for Windows users for now. They should be able to use
QArchive without compiling.

I also include symbolic constants for QArchive which
gives version information.

We also reduce tests on ubuntu since it seems redundant
and makes tests slow, planning to remove more redundant
test to increase test speeds.

We also have a special commit which will make a new release
itself. I have to run scripts/bump_version.sh to make a new
relesae from now on, this is in place to avoid updating the
version number in CMake files and meson build. (Like i did
in the previous version v2.2.8, which has v2.2.7 in cmake files)
