v0.8.3: add Windows link flags + windows-amd64 cross-compile config

Message

Add a (windows) branch to the sokolapp link-flags case with the Win32 support libs required by sokolapp.h's MinGW/MSYS2 gcc docs for the GL backend:

  -lkernel32  GetModuleHandleW, LoadLibraryA, GetProcAddress
  -luser32    CreateWindowExW, WM_* message loop
  -lshell32   CommandLineToArgvW, DragQueryFileW, DragFinish
              (sokol_app.h:2458 pragma-comment-lib)
  -lgdi32     ChoosePixelFormat, SetPixelFormat (GL backend only,
              per sokol_app.h line 86)

Opengl32 is intentionally omitted: sokolapp loads opengl32.dll dynamically via LoadLibraryA + GetProcAddress (sokolapp.h:8294), so static linking -lopengl32 would be redundant.

Add a windows-amd64 config (toolchain: 'zig, target: x86_64-windows-gnu) so 'sigil build --config windows-amd64' / '--target windows-amd64' actually cross-compiles. Without a matching config in package.sgl, sigil's default-config fallback silently produces host objects in a misleadingly-named build/windows-amd64/ directory.
