8358538: Update GHA Windows runner to 2025

[vieiro]

Backport of JDK-8358538 to bump the image version of the Windows GHA Runners from the current windows-2019 (which is being removed by the end of june) to windows-2022.

Note that we're bumping to windows-2022 and not to windows-2025 as in the original commit).

The backport is not clean, because the GHA setup for 11 is different from JDK (and from JDK-17 too).

With this change we're using --with-msvc-toolset-version=14.43 (from the current 14.29) which translates to:

* C Compiler:     Version 19.43.34808 (at /c/progra~1/micros~2/2022/enterp~1/vc/tools/msvc/1443~1.348/bin/hostx86/x64/cl.exe)
* C++ Compiler:   Version 19.43.34808 (at /c/progra~1/micros~2/2022/enterp~1/vc/tools/msvc/1443~1.348/bin/hostx86/x64/cl.exe)

The build seems to work correctly, but some AOT compiler tests fail on Windows ...

... which is possibly related to the modifications to Linker.java that were introduced in JDK-8231318. This is JDK11 specific, because the AOT compiler was dropped in JDK-8264805 in JDK-17.

The PR is in draft mode while this is being investigated.

Note 1: The environment variable ProgramFiles(x86) is not being set by GHA/Cygwin? and Linker.java complains, making all AOT compiler tests to fail. Possible workaround is to use a default C:\Program Files(x86) value if the variable is not found.

Note 2: Upper JDK versions with windows-2025 are evaluating MSVC 14.44 in JDK-8360042
