53705a537c tools/generate-uac-manifest.py: Fix UAC manifest .rc
The resource compiler in the Windows 11 SDK does not allow one to include
winuser.h directly in resource scripts (.rc) with a rather cryptic error
message, so fix generating the .rc file to embed the UAC manifest by including
windows.h with WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN instead.

f0967fa5e4 gtk4-update-icon-cache: Avoid UAC on 32-bit Windows
As the program executable name has 'update' in its filename,
gtk4-update-icon-cache.exe is considered to be an installer program on 32-bit
Windows [1], which will cause the program to fail to run unless it is running
with elevated privileges (i.e. UAC).

Avoid this situation by embedding a manifest file into the final executable
that tells Windows that this is not a program that requires elevation.

Fixes issue #3632.
