P1 Badge Initialize MSVC env before selecting NMake generator

The Windows configure step hard-codes -G "NMake Makefiles" but does not set up a Visual Studio developer environment first, so on windows-latest this can fail during configure when nmake/cl are not initialized in the shell. CMake’s generator docs note that command-line generators (including NMake) must be run from a prompt already configured for the chosen compiler/build tool, so this workflow can make the Windows matrix leg fail even when the project itself is healthy.
