- autotools: fix auto-detection on the Windows platform.
It was mis-detected when targeting Windows XP/2003 64-bit.
It was permanently undetected when building for Windows 32-bit.
```
lib/url.c: In function 'zonefrom_url':
lib/url.c:1802:18: error: implicit declaration of function 'if_nametoindex' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
1802 | scopeidx = if_nametoindex(zoneid);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
lib/url.c:1802:18: error: nested extern declaration of 'if_nametoindex' [-Werror=nested-externs]
```

Fixes #17979
Without this patch the workaround for the 8.15.0 release is:
`export ac_cv_func_if_nametoindex=0` for Windows XP/2003 64-bit.
Background: Checking for the `if_nametoindex()` function via
`AC_CHECK_FUNCS()` (autotools) or `check_function_exists()` (cmake) do
not work on Windows, for two reasons:
- the function may be disabled at compile-time in Windows headers
when targeting old Windows versions (XP or WS2003 in curl context)
via `_WIN32_WINNT`. But it's always present in the system implib
`iphlpapi` where these checks are looking.
- for 32-bit Windows the function signature in the implib requires
a 4-byte argument, while these checks always use no arguments,
making them always fail.
- cmake: call `if_nametoindex` dynamically with mingw-w64 v1.0.
This mingw-w64 version lacks prototype and implib entry for it.
- cmake: add auto-detection for Windows and use as a fallback for
non-pre-fill cases.
- cmake: disable pre-fill with `_CURL_PREFILL=OFF`. (for testing)
- cmake: disable pre-fill for untested compilers. (i.e. non-MSVC,
non-mingw64)
- GHA/windows: make an autotools job build for Windows XP.
