mgravell f8fef80b38 Windows: stop pinning SQL Server 2019, it hangs the install ...

The pin added in the previous commit hung "Install SQL Server" for 28 minutes
before the run was cancelled; the same step with the action's default took 2m48s
on the same image a run earlier. SQL Server 2019 predates the Windows Server 2025
runner image, and its setup stalls rather than failing outright.

Reverting to the action's default. The conservatism was not worth its cost: it
was meant to keep this job as close as possible to what AppVeyor proved, but it
cannot install at all. The net481 leg therefore runs against a newer engine than
AppVeyor used - worth knowing, and called out in the comment, because the OLEDB
tests reach SQL Server through the legacy SQLOLEDB provider and that combination
has not been exercised before.

The shared-memory connection strings and the reachability check stay: those were
the actual fix for the 735 connection failures, and are independent of version.
