GitHub Actions: Support "windows-2022" runner image

[rwp0]

Perl Windows runs-on

• https://github.com/Perl/perl5/blob/blead/.github/workflows/testsuite.yml#L460

The latest available Windows runner

• https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/main/images/win/windows2022.json

This is probably related to supporting build under Visual Studio 2022 as well.

• https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/main/images/win/Windows2019-Readme.md#visual-studio-enterprise-2019
• https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/main/images/win/Windows2022-Readme.md#visual-studio-enterprise-2022

Since the runner images have different VS versions in them.

Just creating this issue to reference in the future, I understand that there might be no rush with impementing that yet.

Can someone who is familiar with our GH CI workflows and with Windows comment on this request? Thanks.

The CI suite now uses Windows 2025 runners. This issue is no longer needed?
