lEWFkRAD b75422d605 ci: build the Windows CUDA path (nvcc + MSVC host) — the one toolchain no job covers
engine-cuda-syntax compiles backend_cuda.cu with nvcc's GCC host on Linux, and
check.yml's windows job is MinGW/UCRT64 CPU-only by design (#140). Neither
exercises nvcc's MSVC host — the only host compiler nvcc accepts on Windows — so
`make cuda-dll` and `make glm CUDA_DLL=1` are currently built by nothing.

The gap has already cost real bugs, all compile-time, all catchable without a GPU:

  - #158: MSVC rejects the GCC-style -Xcompiler=-Wall,-Wextra ("D8021 invalid
    numeric argument '/Wextra'"), CUDA_HOME/NVCC defaults were unresolvable, and
    the kernel test used POSIX setenv. `make cuda-dll` was unbuildable as shipped.
  - #314: CUDA_HOME containing spaces — the CUDA installer's default layout. This
    job installs to exactly that path, so it reproduces the condition by default.

Two Windows-specific facts the job encodes, both verified by making it fail first:

  - sub-packages needs "cudart", not just "nvcc": cuda-dll *links* the runtime, and
    on Windows the headers/import lib are a separate installer component. With
    '["nvcc"]' alone it dies at `#include <cuda_runtime.h>` — the Linux syntax job
    never notices because it only compiles.
  - runs-on is pinned to windows-2022: windows-latest now ships Visual Studio 18
    (MSVC 14.5x) and CUDA's crt/host_config.h hard-errors on any host newer than
    VS 2022. That is a real constraint on every Windows CUDA user today, so the pin
    tracks what the toolkit supports rather than papering over it with
    -allow-unsupported-compiler.

Build-only on purpose: hosted runners have no NVIDIA device, so this proves the
Windows+MSVC CUDA build stays buildable, not that the kernels or the DLL loader
behave on real silicon — that still needs hardware (#157). A check that overclaims
buys the false confidence the engine-cuda-syntax comment already warns about.

Verified green on a fork before proposing:
