Proposed Changes

Adds a native Windows GitHub Actions workflow that builds SU2 on a windows-latest runner using MSYS2/MinGW64, replacing the cross-compiled Windows binaries that were previously built on Linux. Also removes four unused vector allocations (connElemCGNS, elemTypes, nPoinPerElem, elemGlobalID) in CCGNSMeshReaderFVM::ReadCGNSSurfaceSection that were allocated based on a stale nElems[val_section] value (always zero at that point in the call sequence) and were never read, left over from a prior refactoring.

Related Work

Resolves #2737 (SU2_DEF Windows binaries segfaulting when converting CGNS meshes). The root cause is that the existing release workflow cross-compiles Windows binaries on Linux, which prevents H5detect from running natively during the HDF5 build. This means type-detection falls back to a generic H5T_init.cross file that may not match the actual Windows runtime, causing memory corruption and segfaults in the CGNS reader. Building natively on Windows eliminates this mismatch. Related to issue #1468.
