Subject: [PATCH] ci: stream tests on the Windows gate instead of the
 log-redirecting gate script

The windows-gate job was marked failed while the work was still running: 20
dotnet processes were alive on the runner and a complete 8.7 MB App.Tests TRX
was on disk after Forgejo had already recorded a failure.

Cause: tools/run-release-gate.ps1 redirects every bounded child process to its
own log file, so the workflow step emits no output for minutes. Forgejo treats
a task that stops reporting as a zombie and fails it. The Linux job, which
runs dotnet test directly, streamed continuously and produced real results.

The Windows job now builds and then runs each test project directly with the
same trait filter copied from the gate script's default, so output streams the
whole time. run-release-gate.ps1 remains the canonical LOCAL gate, where its
bounded-process/blame-hang machinery is the point.
