Windows installation instructions on https://www.swift.org/install/windows/ are insufficient if building Swift projects with C++ requiring Windows system headers

[jerryjrchen]

Describe the bug

In particular, the winget instructions on the https://www.swift.org/install/windows/ page don’t seem to get all the required files:

winget install --id Microsoft.VisualStudio.2022.Community --exact --force --custom "--add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Windows11SDK.22000 --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.Tools.x86.x64 --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.Tools.ARM64"

I tried building the swift-testing project afterwards, but that failed due to missing dependencies when building cpp source files.

To Reproduce

1. Setup Windows 11 Pro
2. Run the winget instructions above
3. Use the Swift installer to install Swift 6.2
4. git clone https://github.com/swiftlang/swift-testing.git and run swift test
5. The build fails with missing system headers

Workaround is to install Visual Studio Pro and include the cpp libraries during setup. I hope there's a way to do this with the community edition as well, although I haven't tried it.

Expected behavior

Project should build and run tests.

Actual behavior
