Pull request description:

  Windows [application manifests ](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/sbscs/application-manifests) provide several benefits—such as enhanced security settings, and the ability to set a process-wide code page (required for https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32380), as well as granular control over supported Windows versions. Most of these benefits lie beyond the scope of this PR and will be evaluated separately.

  On the current master branch @ fc6346dbc8, the linker generates and embeds a manifest only when building with MSVC:
  ```xml
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
  <assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
    <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
      <security>
        <requestedPrivileges>
          <requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker" uiAccess="false"></requestedExecutionLevel>
        </requestedPrivileges>
      </security>
    </trustInfo>
  </assembly>
  ```

  However, this manifest fails validation:
  ```
  > mt.exe -nologo -inputresource:build\bin\Release\bitcoind.exe -validate_manifest

  mt.exe : general error 10100ba: The manifest is missing the definition identity.
  ```

  This PR unifies manifest embedding for both native and cross-compilation builds.

  Here is the change in the manifest on Windows:
  ```diff
  --- bitcoind-master.manifest
  +++ bitcoind-pr.manifest
  @@ -1,5 +1,6 @@
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
   <assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
  +  <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="org.bitcoincore.bitcoind" version="29.99.0.0"></assemblyIdentity>
     <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
       <security>
         <requestedPrivileges>
  ```

  which effectively resolves the "missing the definition identity" error.

  Finally, “Get bitcoind manifest” steps have been added to the Windows CI jobs to ensure the manifest is embedded and validated.
