ci: run Git's entire test suite

One particularly important part of Git for Windows' MSYS2 runtime is
that it is used to run Git's tests, and regressions happened there: For
example, the first iteration of MSYS2 runtime v3.5.5 caused plenty of
hangs. This was realized unfortunately only after deploying the
msys2-runtime Pacman package, and some painful vacation-time scrambling
was required to revert to v3.5.4.This was realized unfortunately only

To verify that this does not happen anymore, let's reuse what
`setup-git-for-windows-sdk` uses in Git's very own CI:

- determine the latest successful `ci-artifacts` workflow run in
  git-for-windows/git-sdk-64

- download its Git files and build artifacts

- download its minimal-sdk

- overwrite the MSYS2 runtime in the minimal-sdk

- run the test suite and the assorted validations just like the
  `ci-artifacts` workflow (from which these jobs are copied)

This obviously adds a hefty time penalty (around 7 minutes!) to every
MSYS2 runtime PR in the git-for-windows org. Happily, these days we
don't need many of those, and the balance between things like the v3.5.5
scramble and waiting a little longer for the CI to finish is clearly in
favor of the latter.
