windows: fix if_nametoindex() detection with autotools, improve with cmake

- autotools: fix auto-detection on the Windows platform.
  It was mis-detected when targeting Windows XP/2003 64-bit.
  It was permanently undetected when building for Windows 32-bit.
  ```
  lib/url.c: In function 'zonefrom_url':

  Fixes #17979

  Without this patch the workaround for the 8.15.0 release is:
  `export ac_cv_func_if_nametoindex=0` for Windows XP/2003 64-bit.

  Background: Checking for the `if_nametoindex()` function via
  `AC_CHECK_FUNCS()` (autotools) or `check_function_exists()` (cmake) do
  not work on Windows, for two reasons:
  - the function may be disabled at compile-time in Windows headers
    when targeting old Windows versions (XP or WS2003 in curl context)
    via `_WIN32_WINNT`. But it's always present in the system implib
    `iphlpapi` where these checks are looking.
  - for 32-bit Windows the function signature in the implib requires
    a 4-byte argument, while these checks always use no arguments,
    making them always fail.

- cmake: call `if_nametoindex` dynamically with mingw-w64 v1.0.
  This mingw-w64 version lacks prototype and implib entry for it.

- cmake: add auto-detection for Windows and use as a fallback for
  non-pre-fill cases.

- cmake: disable pre-fill with `_CURL_PREFILL=OFF`. (for testing)

- cmake: disable pre-fill for untested compilers. (i.e. non-MSVC,
  non-mingw64)

- GHA/windows: make an autotools job build for Windows XP.
