[ruby-core:108731] [Ruby master Misc#18689] Windows mswin builds, Actions, OpenSSL 3

Issue #18689 has been updated by MSP-Greg (Greg L).


All of the above has been implemented.  Re Actions & Windows builds, using an mswin build (currently only available as a head build, 'mswin') will install all the vcpkg dependencies needed to build Ruby, similar to mingw & ucrt builds.  'mswin' is being built with OpenSSL 3.

Please close.

Sorry for the long post and the md formatting...

With the release of the Actions windows-2022 image, MSYS2 build tools are no longer pre-installed on the image.  Given that updating MSYS's msys and mingw64/ucrt64 tools can take quite a while, using a repo to create 7z archive files with the updates was used.

That repo is [MSP-Greg/setup-msys2-gcc](https://github.com/MSP-Greg/setup-msys2-gcc). Four times a day it creates four 7z archives (only if needed) and these are installed by [ruby/setup-ruby](https://github.com/ruby/setup-ruby) when the windows-2022 image is used with Ruby mingw64 or ucrt64 builds.

So, for windows-2022 use with Rubies 2.4 and later, the full set of gcc tools are installed.  Additionally, the packages needed to buid Ruby are included.

Currently, some Ruby repos are using [MSP-Greg/setup-ruby-pkgs](https://github.com/MSP-Greg/setup-ruby-pkgs) to install MSYS2 packages, this is no longer required when using windows-2022.

But, this was only done for ming64 and ucrt64 builds.  I recently added an mswin 7z archive, and it contains all the vcpkg packages (libffi, libyaml, openssl, readline, & zlib) needed for a mswin build.

The question is, how should this archive be installed?

1. Install when an mswin build is installed by [ruby/setup-ruby](https://github.com/ruby/setup-ruby)?

2. The vcpkg input to [MSP-Greg/setup-ruby-pkgs](https://github.com/MSP-Greg/setup-ruby-pkgs) could have a value of 'ruby' added which will install them?

3. No install, and do so via curl in an Actions step?

Code also needs to set the `--with-opt-dir` value.

This is also complicated by the fact that the current vcpkg for OpenSSL has been upgraded to OpenSSL 3, but the vcpkg release in the Actions image doesn't have it.

I have built ruby-loco's mswin build with the vcpkg archive (also with OpenSSL 3), and it passes.  Ruby's windows.yml Action workflow also passes with the change.  I'll do a draft PR for it (disabling the other CI workflows).

Lastly, both [MSP-Greg/setup-msys2-gcc](https://github.com/MSP-Greg/setup-msys2-gcc) and [MSP-Greg/setup-ruby-pkgs](https://github.com/MSP-Greg/setup-ruby-pkgs) will be moving to the Ruby org soon, I've been updating readme's, converting js to Ruby, etc...
