Windows Server 2022 (aka ltsc2022) based image

[rgl]

Can we please have base images for Windows Server 2022 (aka ltsc2022)?

The final version was released this week.

Please note that GitHub Actions does not yet have a Windows 2022 virtual-environment, so this issue depends on:

• Add Visual Studio 2022 Preview actions/runner-images#3609 (comment)
• Update/Add Windows Server 2022 image actions/runner-images#3138
• Add Windows Server 2022 image templates actions/runner-images#3929

GitHub Actions supporting it is definitely helpful, but not necessarily a blocker.

However, getting the downstream Windows builder for Official Images (https://github.com/docker-library/official-images) in general updated to 2022 is, so I guess that's where this is going to have to be stuck at for now (similar to #289, but hopefully easier to solve because it's not that confusing/hard to use SAC stuff anymore).

Edit: so docker-library/official-images#9198 is a more "canonical" link for that 👍

Support for Windows Server 2022 was added to Github Actions yesterday: actions/runner-images/issues/3949.

I was able to build WS 2022 images with Github actions in my fork. Only generate.sh is missing support for WS 2022, so I've opened a PR there: docker-library/bashbrew/pull/33. Once this is merged I'll open a PR here.

We're still working on the Official Images infra to actually support this (docker-library/official-images#9198), so please don't rush too much (the PR will have to wait until it's acceptable in official images before we can merge it).

Since you've rushed closing docker-library/official-images#9198, I've rushed opening a PR #386 :)

Heh, it just happened to go much smoother than anticipated 😅

Thank You!
