CI: Try building windows without CUDA visual_studio_integration

Installing that package is very slow, 10-20 min. Doing it this way is said to require using `cl.exe` rather than msbuild, so cmake should generate a working build without msbuild (?) May need to install ninja, I'm not sure. Trying without that first. Signed-off-by: Gary Oberbrunner <[email protected]>
