window-latest switched to windows-2025, where GitHub doesn't preinstall NSIS:
https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/12677
Let's install it manually (untested, might need follow-up commits).
The release.yml workflow uses windows-2019 (and will switch to windows-2022 in a
follow-up commit), so it is unaffected for now.
With Python 3.14, since argparse enabled coloring by default:

This happens when Python tries to access sys.flags.verbose, but we replaced it
with a fake object that does not have a .verbose attribute anymore (only
temporarily, but for some reason that's enough to trigger the issue anyways).
Since we can't mutate sys.flags, instead we create an object that copies all
sys.flags attributes, and then use that as a nicer replacement.
See #8529
This keeps our setup.py around for now, while still supporting a PEP-517
compliant build. It's the minimum required change to make modern pyroma stop
complaining, and hopefully to avoid deprecation warnings.
Partially duplicates #8560
See #3526
