Enables longpath support on the gitlab Windows jobs
We moved the location of the repo in GitLab, which increased the path length, and we hit long path issues
Make the runner set git config --system core.longpaths true - it's a crazy olde time restriction, so realistically everyone should have this anyway
git config --system core.longpaths true
The build works, so it's fixed!
We could shorten the paths to work around it, but it's just another accident waiting to happen. This is not the first time 🙈
Backport of #6025
