[FEATURE REQUEST] ship pythonnet==3.0.0 with the Windows minions

Hi,

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. pythonnet 3.0 is finally out, it has a bunch of fixes and improvements, including support for python > 3.8.

Describe the solution you'd like Replace pythonnet==2.5.2 with pythonnet==3.0.0 for the Windows minions

Describe alternatives you've considered Install pythonnet==3.0.0 via pip, it breaks salt.

it breaks salt

Then that certainly needs fixing before Salt ships it.

I should clarify - it breaks the minion due to defined dependencies:
