Building the MSI hook on Windows
(`contrib/win-installer/podman-msihooks/check.c`)
currently requires MinGW. This commit updates the build
script so that, when MinGW is absent but the C compiler
included in Visual Studio BuildTools is installed, the
latter is used to build the MSI hook.
Other than that, `winmake.ps1` has a new `installertest`
target to run the Windows installer tests that are
currently verified by Cirrus CI.

The chocolatey tool that was fetching us wix v3 can no longer be used to
fetch wix v4+ so we had to switch to dotnet to fetch the latest wix.
This commit builds the installer with wix v5.
wix v5 is installed via the `dotnet` tool in the windows image itself
at https://github.com/containers/automation_images/pull/354.
Going forward, the `dotnet` tool will also be used to build the installer.
In the process, the wix v3 files were converted to wix v4+ using `wix
convert` followed by manual modifications along with switch to wixproj
builds with dotnet.
The GitHub Action to upload windows installer now builds the installer
using winmake.ps1.

Add the following targets in winmake.ps1:
- `installer`: builds the Windows installer
- `docs`: builds the documentation HTML pages
- `validatepr`: runs the Linux Makefile `.valiatepr`
target using podman.
- `lint`: faster validation that runs linter locally
Update of `build_windows.md`:
- removed every reference to the MSYS2 platform
- added instructions to build the installer and linters
Fix https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/21821 and https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/21911

Updated build_windows.md with a new section that
document how to build and run the windows podman
