CI: enable msvc config cache for windows workflow (SCons#4545)

And suitable environment var for the two Windows runners

tweaks: pip now won't show progress bars installs a few extra pkgs for Windows (winflexbison3 and dmd - but dmd still needs to be added to PATH)

Also add "quiet" option to choco install.

Enable pip cache
