MSVC regression-test job in CI now builds and links with C++ standard library modules to enable import std.compat;

[bluetarpmedia]

• Re-enable the -import-std / pure behaviour
• The CI build script now compiles the std and std.compat modules and links the std.obj and std.compat.obj files when building the regression test binaries.

See #950 for more details.

Thanks! I guess rebuilding the four std* files once per regression test run is not too bad, it seems to take about as long as running a handful of test cases. That's reasonable.

Yes, that's what I was thinking -- I should've mentioned that sorry.

It means we won't run into problems if the compiler flags need to change, or if a Visual Studio update on the GitHub-hosted runner affects the ifc or obj files.
