help needed: Windows CI broken

Windows builds have been failing in CI for a while, I think because of 
some changes in the GHA images.

I burnt some Claude tokens trying to fix the trunk to no avail [1], but 
I have zero interest in this. It will be ... frustrating... if people 
start voting against future 2.4.x rcs because Windows builds are broken 
in some way which was trivial to catch in CI and fix ahead of time.

Example trunk failure: https://github.com/apache/httpd/actions/runs/25912053842/job/76159381743

2.4.x failure is "simpler" because of the cmake version mismatch: 
https://github.com/apache/httpd/actions/runs/25488877019/job/74791446628 
but working around that as suggested did not help.

Regards, Joe
