Description
The included tar.exe causes actions/cache to break on the Windows-2022 runner in case it is added to the path. As a temp fix, i renamed it during the workflow, but updating tar.exe (and perhaps the other binaries) is advised.

Research direction
Start with the included msys2/usr/bin/tar.exe and the workflow entry point in run.ps1 around line 126, then reproduce the failure with actions/cache on a Windows-2022 runner when the toolkit path is added. Compare the temporary rename workaround in the referenced setup-php-sdk commit and verify that the updated binary, and any affected companion binaries, no longer break the cache workflow.
