GHA: install MSYS2 Perl manually for latest GitHub runners
As the MSYS2 update propagates into more GitHub runner images, we need
to install Perl to avoid native Windows (aka Strawberry) Perl breaking
jobs that are running tests.

For others jobs, this patch leaves the new default Strawberry Perl. It's
fine to use it a little bit more.

Also:
- libssh 32-bit was dropped upstream, replace with libssh2, and move
  libssh to the 64-bit job running tests.
