Also, explicitly set the resource compiler as CMake seems to not find it in some cases, and use the regular Clang/Clang++ for simplicity.

Seems like another package update broke the CI builds again, and I've been wanting to do this anyway so here we are.
melonDS can be built using the standard Windows SDK and the Clang compiler that ships with it instead of relying on MSYS2, this should lead to a more stable build environment and also cut out some dependencies of the CI build.
Additionally, at least one person on the Discord has had problems with the MSYS2-based builds not running properly on their system, while the Windows SDK ones have no such issue, so this may also increase compatibility?
This also adds Windows on ARM builds.
