Motivation:

The version of the Windows SDK that the Swift installation instructions attempts to install is no longer available as part of Visual Studio 2022 Community. The result is that while the installation seems to succeed, when compiling or running users will see errors like the following:

lld-link: error: could not open 'kernel32.lib': no such file or directory
lld-link: error: could not open 'ucrt.lib': no such file or directory

Modifications:

Update to the current shipping version of the Windows SDK, which is
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Windows11SDK.22621

Result:

Installs now complete successfully and compile / build tests work. Tested on a clean ARM64 guest instance running Windows 11 25H2.
