GHA/windows: stop installing Perl `Win32-Process*` modules

It's complex and did not help stabilizing CI runs.

Hard to say, but I'm suspicious it's related to the CI errors
-1073741502, 0xC0000142, seen in the 'build examples' and
'disk space used' steps.

Ref: #18526
Reverts 52775a7fb4ba63d66d60067dea4a5293fb7c55a1 #18296
Closes #19083
