feat(ci): update CI and release workflows to use Clang on Windows

- Changed the compiler configuration for Windows jobs in CI and release workflows from MSVC to Clang.
- Updated CMake commands to utilize the Ninja generator and set the C and C++ compilers dynamically based on the matrix configuration.
- Simplified artifact paths in the packaging steps to reflect the new build structure.

Benefits:
- Improved compatibility and performance by leveraging Clang for Windows builds, enhancing cross-platform consistency.
