They use powershell instead of cmd.exe, use the tag win32-ps instead of win32,
and run Windows 2016 instead of 2012r2.
The old runners will be switched off in the comming weeks.
I couldn't get all reftests to work reliably, so the tests failing
on either CI or on my machine are skipped for now.
Installed tests are disabled by default and can be enabled with "-Dinstalled_tests=true"
The msys2 runner has started failing for internal reasons:
- gtk-3-24 times out
- master fails with a ld.exe assertion:
BFD (GNU Binutils) 2.33.1 assertion fail
../../binutils-2.33.1/bfd/cofflink.c:2348
Both seem related to some MSYS2 issue. Until the runner is updated, we
should not block on it.
This can be used to verify that we can build a release tarball using
Autotools, without being subject to known-failing tests (which are less
straightforward to fix). Since commit 44a2d5d6 the Meson build skips
the failing a11y tests, but we don't have an equally easy mechanism
to skip those on Autotools.
