Description
Over the last 2 weeks we get this occasionally:
Downloading MSYS2...
connect ETIMEDOUT 185.199.110.133:443
Waiting 12 seconds before trying again
connect ETIMEDOUT 185.199.110.133:443
Waiting 14 seconds before trying again
Error: connect ETIMEDOUT 185.199.110.133:443
Example: https://github.com/msys2/msys2-tests/actions/runs/3453702969/jobs/5764508819
I wonder if we should store it in the cache as well to make this less likely.

Research direction
Start with the setup-msys2 GitHub Action's installer-download path and inspect the linked GitHub Actions run for the timeout behavior. Determine how caching the downloaded installer would fit the existing workflow; done means intermittent downloads are less likely to fail and the behavior is verified in Actions.
