gh-138744: GitHub Actions: pin to windows-2022

[hugovk]

GitHub Actions is in the process of migrating windows-latest from windows-2022 to windows-2025:

This change will be rolled out over a period of several weeks beginning 2025-09-02 and will complete on 2025-09-30

actions/runner-images#12677

This is causing failures for forks which have already been migrated, for example:

Upstream and my fork are still on 2022, but let's pin to windows-2022 so we can separately investigate and fix for 2025, and then pin to windows-2025.

• Issue: test_dtrace fails on Windows Server 2025 #138744

Also needed in jit.yml and tail-call.yml:

LGTM. It's a good idea to pin the Windows version and only upgrade it once it's well tested on newer Windows.

[sobolevn]

Thanks! Pinning is a good idea in any case.

Question: does this new version have os.getpid?

Question: does this new version have os.getpid?

Looks like they both do:

• windows-2022: https://github.com/hugovk/test/actions/runs/17616850670/job/50052125251#step:6:25
• windows-2025: https://github.com/hugovk/test/actions/runs/17616850670/job/50052125293#step:6:25
