Description
The most recent version of rustls pulls in a newer version of aws-lc-rs that no longer requires NASM as a build dependency on Windows, if prebuilt NASM objects are enabled. We could try switching from ring to aws-lc-rs for our published Windows binaries.

Research direction
Start by locating the rustls and ring configuration plus the Windows build and published-binary workflow. Check how aws-lc-rs is enabled and verify that the resulting Windows build uses its prebuilt NASM objects without requiring NASM; done means the published Windows binaries build successfully with the new backend.
