This PR builds all DLLs and their import libraries, and bundles them as part of the unofficial nightly Windows artifacts. It also splits the single CI job into multiple jobs for better organization. (As a consequence, since different jobs may use runner images with different versions, it is no longer possible to include the MSVC version as part of the libraries' cache keys.)
The whole standard library, except for the LLVM components, should now work with
-Dpreview_dll. LLVM is still built statically and with/MT, sostd_specwill print a warning about mixed CRT library usage. To get rid of the warning, build a separate LLVM that uses-DLLVM_USE_CRT_RELEASE=MDinstead, and point%LLVM_CONFIG%inside it. (To get rid of static linking altogether we must first port the remaining functions inllvm_ext.cc, because LLVM only exposes its C interface on Windows when DLLs are used.)
