🧪💅 Integrate build_msi into main CI workflow

Previously, this workflow would run on related file changes and not
contribute the the overall outcome of the CI run. This patch turns it
into a reusable workflow, integrating it closer with the rest of the
setup. It remains non-voting and skips or failures will not block the
CI, just as before.
