[PATCH v2 0/4] gitlab-ci: fix the cargo invocation in the Windows job

In https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqq8q4zosri.fsf@gitster.g/ (local), Junio mentioned
that the GitLab CI seems broken since I enabled Rust in the Windows-based CI
jobs. This patch series should fix it (lightly tested, but I don't have a
whole lot of build minutes on GitLab).

Changes since v1:

 * Reworded the commit messages to clarify previously confusing statements.

  ci(gitlab,windows): provision GNU Rust for SDK-based MinGW builds
  ci(gitlab,windows): preserve exclusions during dependency setup
  ci(gitlab,windows): fix Rust setup for GitLab's MinGW build
  ci(gitlab,windows): provide GNU Rust's host-linker support
