The Windows 2016 images have been deprecated for a while now and regularly browning out. There's no viable replacement for testing that we can generate a usable
--backend=vs2017
project, so we cannot migrate this to anything else.The deprecated images are finally fully removed. See actions/runner-images#5403
And now we get universal red CI, we cannot just wait for the brownout to end to get a tiny little bit of final testing.
Simply remove the jobs so that we can tell if all the CI that actually runs, is passing.
