Use git directly instead of actions/checkout on Windows (iree-org#1…

…3186)

The GitHub-provided `actions/checkout` action is for some reason
unusably slow on the large managed Windows runners. We assumed this was
because of some tricky IO issue or something, but I decide to just try
directly using `git` commands to see and lo the checkout time goes from
10 minutes to 1.5 🚀 

With the caching improvements from
iree-org#13183, this gets the Windows build
down under 10 minutes, which means we can run it on presubmit (left for
a future PR).

Part of iree-org#11009

skip-ci: this only affects the Windows job, which isn't run on presubmit
