msys2 package list clean out and brew gcc update to v14.

[elmbeech]

lately i was writing new physicell installation manuals for the power users.
thereby, i cleaned out the msys2 package list.
additionally, i noticed that brew nowadays ships with gcc version 14.
this is an update to the workflow files from what i learned on the way.

• By removing packages like lapack, openblas, pthread and Python bindings, the Windows build or tests may now fail if those libraries are actually required. Please confirm which dependencies are still needed and restore any that are missing.

install: mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc make mingw-w64-x86_64-imagemagick mingw-w64-x86_64-ffmpeg unzip zip git mingw-w64-x86_64-ca-certificates mingw-w64-x86_64-diffutils

.github/workflows/build_binaries.yml:85

• Similar to the tests workflow, critical MSYS2 packages (e.g., libwinpthread, lapack, openblas, Python CFFI) were removed and might be required for a successful Windows binary build. Double-check and re-add missing dependencies.

install: mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc make mingw-w64-x86_64-imagemagick mingw-w64-x86_64-ffmpeg unzip zip git mingw-w64-x86_64-python-zstandard mingw-w64-x86_64-ca-certificates

.github/workflows/build_binaries.yml:137

• [nitpick] After installing gcc@14, consider exporting its bin directory (e.g., export PATH="$(brew --prefix gcc@14)/bin:$PATH") so that g++-14 is reliably found on all macOS runners.

if ! brew list gcc@14 &>/dev/null; then

This gets my approval. It's just changing the download packages for a windows install to run the test suite. If anyone with windows experience objects, please feel free to raise.

i just checked. brew nowadays ships with gcc version 16.
so maybe this could be updated (gcc@16 instead of gcc@14 as seems to be nowadays).

the msys2 chaneges are still up to date.
