CI: Example project: compile C test program on Windows

This was done in #122 for Linux and macOS, but not for Windows.

Currently, a Makefile is used, but probably something else is needed on Windows ...

Since #142, there is a test with inline-c that also runs on Windows.

This is good, but I don't think this reflects typical use, because the library is "installed" in some obscure directory that's only known to cargo.

I think it would be very helpful to show an example usage that's closer to how it would be actually used on Windows.

Sadly, I have no clue how things are normally done on Windows, so I cannot give a concrete suggestion ...

There is a (draft) PR #194 that tries to compile the example project with MSYS2 on Windows.

It would still be great to have a "native" Windows example (e.g. using MSVC).
