Pin Windows CI to VS 17.9.7 toolset as runner image update has build …

…failures (#1611)

The new GH runner release
[20240603.1](https://github.com/actions/runner-images/releases/tag/win22%2F20240603.1)
requires minimum 14.40 for MSVC toolset.

Set [VS2022 BuildTools to
17.9.7](actions/runner-images#10004 (comment))
as version 17.10 is busted with several dependencies.
