Remove cmake dependency for Windows #828

Description

Problem:

I am interested in building and contributing to projects like Deno, which depends on aws-lc-rs.
However, it seems like aws-lc-rs has a dependency on cmake for Windows builds. The nasm dependency can luckily be turned off.

Figuring out the issue, and then figuring out how to install cmake on Windows was not a pleasant experience. It was especially bad, since the project that I was contributing to (Deno) has a very slow build time. This made "installing Cmake and checking if it works" a very slow process.

Requested solution:

It would be amazing for me if the Windows target also got the cc treatment. For contributing to projects, my main priority is being able to set up the development environment as easily as possible.

Relevant details

  • CPU architecture: x86-64
  • OS: Windows 11
