Drop the unsupported Windows 7 x64 portable build and everything that existed only for it:
the windows7 workflow, packaging script and docs/windows7.md; the windows7 feature and the
win7-target cfgs (plain cfg(windows) now); the Windows 7 print transport
(printing/windows7.rs); the glow renderer path; and vendor/windows-link, the patched crate
only that build used. NOTICE, README and the living docs no longer describe it; dated
change-history rows are left as they were.
- Drop the workspace [patch.crates-io] and restore windows-link's crates.io
source and checksum in Cargo.lock, so every normal build keeps the
checksum-verified crate. windows7.ps1 now applies vendor/windows-link with
--config, checks that only windows-link's lock entry moved, builds and tests
with --locked, checks the patched crate is the one in use, and restores
Cargo.lock afterwards.
- windows7.yml runs on demand and weekly instead of on every PR, pins every
action by commit SHA, and leaves the dependency check and host tests to the
script (-Test) so the Cargo arguments live in one place.
- ROADMAP, README, NOTICE and docs: experimental, unsupported, not verified by
maintainers.
