[Github][CI] Bump VS in Windows Container to VS2022

[boomanaiden154]

Just to keep things up to date. It does not look like we can yet jump to VS 2026 despite it being available since the vs_buildtools.exe link does not work with VS v18 (which corresponds to Visual Studio 2026).

I've tested this locally running the full premerge pipeline and everything checks out.
