Closes #14908.

[oech3]

I did not test. But mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-libgit2-winhttp might work via Windows's cert.

[xtqqczze]

Tested in #13784.

@oech3 we should be using msys2/setup-msys2 action?

[oech3]

I want to avoid new action since it is slow to setup.

[xtqqczze]

I guess we can just use pacman -Syu --noconfirm || true to avoid the step failing.

[oech3]

We don't care about TOCTOU at here, but pacman -Syu --noconfirm pkg1 pkg2 ... is atomic.

I don't know, but I think we must perform full system update first.

[lazka]

I can look into a PR if wanted.

@lazka What we have in this PR works now, I've tested it in #13784

What @oech3 has queried is whether this can be done in one command, i.e. pacman -Syu --noconfirm pkg1 pkg2, or whether separate steps are better.

[lazka]

the separate steps are sadly needed

[xtqqczze]

@lazka Thanks for confirming! I think we have everything we need here. Ideally, we'd use msys2/setup-msys2, but that can be addressed separately.
