I have added the Windows jobs to the stable release branch of filelight (and of 
other projects creating APPX packages).

I haven't (yet?) added Windows jobs to the master branches (or the 24.02 
branches) of the 95 projects that were doing Windows builds on BF. Help is 
appreciated. Ideally by the project maintainers because they will have to care 
for the builds and it would therefore be good if they knew how the new stuff is 
configured.

And it would be good if somebody smoke-tested the Windows builds so that we 
don't waste CI/CD resources for builds that don't work.

Ingo
