ci: Use native platform for win-cross task #33558

   Forcing the architecture to amd64 is no longer required. Dropping it should have some benefits:

   • Faster CI speed on other arches (riscv64, arm, …)
   • Unlock the CI task to run on riscv64 at all

   thanks for testing. However, this looks like an unrelated issue with your podman version. I presume you can’t run any native task at all. My recommendation would be to upgrade your os (or podman) to the latest stable version.

   • Unlock the CI task to run on riscv64 at all

   Isn’t this relevant to other tasks as well, for example, ci/test/00_setup_env_arm.sh?

    That task requires the aarch64 architecture and is not a native task. Not sure if it matters much if qemu-aarch64 is running on x86 or riscv, but feel free to open a separate issue or pull request. The goal here is mainly to speed up the win-cross task for non-x86 arches. Being able to run it on riscv64 is a nice cherry on top.
