Description
Currently our test extension manually sets Py_TARGET_ABI3T because meson doesn't yet officially support abi3t and this causes issues. Once meson and meson-python gain a UI for creating abi3t extensions, we need to update our tests to use that API:
Additionally, we should remove the skips for GIL-enabled Python on Windows whenever meson adds support for the new python3t.lib and python3t.dll files in the Windows distribution.

Research direction
First verify that Meson and meson-python expose the abi3t extension API and support python3t.lib and python3t.dll on Windows. Then update numpy/_core/tests/examples/limited_api/meson.build and remove the GIL-enabled Windows skips in numpy/_core/tests/test_limited_api.py; run the limited-API tests to confirm the extension builds and passes.
