In this PR, MSYS2 jobs are added to the Implementation and Processor workflows. In both cases, tools are installed on MINGW32 and MINGW64. In the Processor workflow, the VUnit testbench is executed. In the Implementation workflow, examples are synthesised.
I believe these jobs are useful for didactic purposes, since they show how Windows users can install and use the tools, for either simulation or synthesis. In fact, this is how I use NEORV32. Moreover, these jobs are are also useful for detecting regressions issues on Windows. However, they can be considered redundant, since the tasks are the same as the ones executed on containers.
Therefore, I think it might be interesting to either:
