[META] Add Windows Support

[dblock]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Coming from https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-build/issues/33. In order to release a Windows x64 distribution each plugin needs to work on Windows and include tools that are windows-specific as replacements for any bash scripts.

What solution would you like?

Every component has passing CI on Windows (windows-latest on GHA), including unit, integration and bcw tests, and has Windows-specific documentation, if needed.

Hi all, I am trying to enable this for a few plugins (observability, sql, dashboards-reports, dashboards-visualizations), and am wondering if it makes sense to disable backward compatibility tests since this is the first release on windows/macos. Also seeing several errors like the following for windows/macos CI: Could not HEAD 'https://artifacts.opensearch.org/releases/core/opensearch/1.1.0/opensearch-min-1.1.0-windows-x64.zip'. Received status code 403 from server: Forbidden. Is this a known infra issue/will be resolved at some point? Thanks

There is no 1.1.0 windows for sure because we havent release windows yet...... @CEHENKLE @bbarani wonder if we want to enable this once we have 1.x windows release later?

Thanks.

I think we should manually publish an 2.3.0 Windows build that I know we were able to produce, to support bcw. If we ship 2.4.0 with Windows support and 2.5.0 fails to upgrade because of something in 2.4.0 it will be a lot more difficult to fix.

[bbarani]

@peterzhuamazon Can we publish the Windows -min artifacts to artifacts.opensearch.org as well to unblock https://github.com/opensearch-project/sql/issues/928?

[peterzhuamazon]

We already have 2.4.0 min in snapshots on artifacts, not 2.3.0 tho.

[peterzhuamazon]

My point being that are pointing to the wrong location, should be snapshots not releases or release-candidates anymore.

We found that a number of child issues were closed with only partial working CI (unit tests, but not integration tests). Those issues have been reopened and I updated the description here to reflect that we want 100% parity in tests across all supported platforms, linux and windows.
