Fix Windows GPU CI (apache#17962)

Update Windows CI to use VS 2019 and enable x64 bit toolchain. Previously we are using an older 32 bit toolchain causing OOM errors during linking. Switching to x64 bit toolchain on the older VS version previously used by the CI was attempted in apache#17912 and did not work. Update to Cuda 10.2 as it is required by VS 2019. Switch to ninja-build on Windows to speed up build as ninja-build is now preinstalled. Remove logic to install cmake 3.16 on every PR as cmake 3.17 is now preinstalled. Add build retrials due to cuda thrust + VS2019 flakyness.
