ci: Use windows VMs instead of windows containers

So far we have used containers for testing windows on cirrus-ci. Unfortunately
they come with substantial overhead: First, the container images are pulled
onto the host on-demand. Due to the large size of windows containers, that
ends up taking nearly 4 minutes. Secondly, IO is slow, leading to CI runs
taking long.

Thus switch to windows VMs, improving windows CI times by well over 2x.
