This is for 2.2.0 or later. I need to try it once in the CI to see the reproducer for the root cause of the QEMU pining, because I tried it locally and in a third party GH repo with GHA and can't get the test failure. If CI fails I will try to investigate further w/o hogging CI for the project and postpone patch waiting for later QEMU if needed. There should be a QEMU point release in 2 weeks https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2026-05/msg02947.html, so, it might bring some fixes as well, but it is a bit iffy when/if the release will be built for Windows and when/if winget will update the repo.

Potentially fixes #4949

This was implemented to support QEMU version before 11.0.0, but since
there is no LTS releases for QEMU on Windows the minimal version is
bumped to the one not needing special handling.

I messed up lints, but it is ok for now because Windows tests are actually fine. I will factor out unpinning from this PR and re-submit and will rebase and force push the changes, when 2.2.0 merge window opens.
