GHA/windows: install stunnel manually, enable for Cygwin
Replace Chocolatey install with direct download and unpack. To reduce
CI dependencies (Chocolatey, NuGet), improve install performance
(10s -> 1s) and hopefully reliability. Last but not least to enable it
for the Cygwin CI job.

Caveats:
- Need to bump stunnel versions manually (2-3 times a year).
  Renovate could likely do it, but I failed to understand its
  documentation and miss tooling/interface to make tests.
- FIPS not enabled. (can be done if necessary)
- Possibly losing checksum verification (not sure if Chocolatey did it
  automatically for this package.)

Also:
- Increase minimum tests by 100 for the Cygwin job.
