  1. ci: Switch from "RelWithDebInfo" to "Release" config for MSVC jobs 

    It is reasonable to test a configuration that is used in the Bitcoin
Core build.

For MSVC, the "Release" config (/O2 /Ob2) is preferable over
"RelWithDebInfo" (/Zi /O2 /Ob1) for the following reasons:

1. /Ob2 can be slightly better than /Ob1 for performance;
see: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/ob-inline-function-expansion

2. /Zi, which produces a separate PDB file that contains all the
symbolic debugging information, is incompatible with ccache; see:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/z7-zi-zi-debug-information-format
