Github Actions - ci: retry msys2 package install instead of setup-msys2 - #8568

Conversation
The previous retry re-ran msys2/setup-msys2, which refuses to install
twice ("Trying to install MSYS2 to D:\a\_temp\msys64 but that already
exists"), so it could never succeed. GitHub's Windows runners keep being
redirected to ftp2.osuosl.org, where a download (clang64 minizip .sig)
stalls and pacman aborts the whole transaction.
Let setup-msys2 install only the base tools and install the MinGW
packages in a run step that retries pacboy up to three times.
