GHA/windows: restore runtests perf with last known good Git for Windows
Use the last known good release of Git for Windows by installing it
manually. It restores `runtests.pl` performance to the levels before
the October 2024 and this week's fallouts which gradually deployed
MSYS2 runtimes with pipe/signal/concurrency issues.

Also:
- restore vcpkg job's test parallelism to `-j8` (from `-j4`).
- keep using the default shell for jobs not running tests.
  To avoid the unnecessary Git for Windows install overhead.

Upsides:
- good performance again.
- easy to experiment with any version.

Downsides:
- installing the Git for Windows package takes 15-30 seconds.
- we're pinned to an old package version.
- no canary to tell when the issue is fixed on the runner images.

Unknown:
- stability. (no MSYS2 runtimes were ever stable and it's difficult
  to quantify if a version improves or worsens stability/flakiness, and
  intermittent env failures.
