Description
### Describe the enhancement requested
Windows-2019 is being deprecated by GitHub we should update the GitHub runners for the release workflow that currently uses it.
See:
- https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/12045
Our code:
https://github.com/apache/arrow-java/blob/acbc138f75711fc94e842f9b306a48a5a233bca8/.github/workflows/rc.yml#L301
Contributor guide
Research direction
Open .github/workflows/rc.yml around line 301 and compare the configured Windows runner with GitHub's deprecation notice in actions/runner-images#12045. Update the release workflow to use a supported Windows image newer than 2019, then verify the workflow no longer references Windows-2019.
