Description

### [REQUIRED] Please fill in the following fields:

* Pre-built SDK from the [website](https://firebase.google.com/download/cpp) or open-source from this repo: Pre-built SDK from website
* Firebase C++ SDK version: 12.1.0 and above
* Problematic Firebase Component: Firestore
* Other Firebase Components in use: None
* Platform you are using the C++ SDK on: Windows
* Platform you are targeting: desktop

### [REQUIRED] Please describe the issue here:

This issue occurs when building a project on Windows with Firebase C++ SDK versions 12.1.0 and above. The build fails with an unresolved external symbol error linked to the firebase_firestore.lib file.

### Steps to reproduce:
1. Set up a C++ project on Windows.
2. Integrate Firebase C++ SDK (version 12.1.0 or higher) with Firestore as a dependency.
3. Build the project.

Code: LNK2019
Description: unresolved external symbol ___std_min_8i@8 referenced in function "auto __cdecl std::__std_min<__int64 const >(__int64 const * const,__int64 const * const)" (??$__std_min@$$CB_J@std@@YA?A_PQB_J0@Z)

Have you been able to reproduce this issue with just the [Firebase C++ quickstarts](https://github.com/firebase/quickstart-cpp)?
No, the issue was reproduced on a custom project using Firestore.

What's the issue repro rate?
100%

I am encountering a persistent linker error when building on Windows with Firebase C++ SDK version 12.1.0 and later. The issue does not appear in version 12.0.0, but it consistently arises in 12.1.0 and above.
