   windows: fix `if_nametoindex()` detection with autotools, improve with cmake
   - autotools: fix auto-detection on the Windows platform.
     It was mis-detected when targeting Windows XP/2003 64-bit.
     It was permanently undetected when building for Windows 32-bit.
     ```
     lib/url.c: In function 'zonefrom_url':

     Fixes #17979
   
     Without this patch the workaround for the 8.15.0 release is:
     `export ac_cv_func_if_nametoindex=0` for Windows XP/2003 64-bit.
   
     Background: Checking for the `if_nametoindex()` function via
     `AC_CHECK_FUNCS()` (autotools) or `check_function_exists()` (cmake) do
     not work on Windows, for two reasons:
     - the function may be disabled at compile-time in Windows headers
       when targeting old Windows versions (XP or WS2003 in curl context)
       via `_WIN32_WINNT`. But it's always present in the system implib
       `iphlpapi` where these checks are looking.
     - for 32-bit Windows the function signature in the implib requires
       a 4-byte argument, while these checks always use no arguments,
       making them always fail.
   
   - cmake: call `if_nametoindex` dynamically with mingw-w64 v1.0.
     This mingw-w64 version lacks prototype and implib entry for it.
   
   - cmake: add auto-detection for Windows and use as a fallback for
     non-pre-fill cases.
   
   - cmake: disable pre-fill with `_CURL_PREFILL=OFF`. (for testing)
   
   - cmake: disable pre-fill for untested compilers. (i.e. non-MSVC,
     non-mingw64)
   
   - GHA/windows: make an autotools job build for Windows XP.
   
   Follow-up to 0d71b18153c8edb996738f8a362373fc72d0013b #17413
   
   Closes #17982
