Description

The new container images for building windows are about 51GiB in size. The previous ones (which we are still using for jdk8) are about 20GiB. We should look to see if the new image can be reduced in size and still be functional in order to reduce the very large size of the windows container image.

Research direction

Review the new Windows build container setup and compare it with the older JDK 8 container described in the issue. Use infrastructure issue 3286 and temurin-build issue 4259 as context; done means producing a smaller image that remains functional for Windows builds.
