CI: Stop using AppVeyor

We started the Windows CI with AppVeyor (v7.4.872), but nowadays, GitHub Actions
supports Windows, and the performance is better than AppVeyor.
Especially, AppVeyor doesn't allow running multiple jobs in parallel.

Before 9.0.0529, we used VC 2010 on AppVeyor to ensure that C99 syntax
was not used.
Now we use some C99 syntax. Also, MSVC's C99 support level remains
almost the same since VS 2015. So, using VS 2015 isn't very useful.

closes: #20251
