Description
Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
Soon enough, MSVC's clang-cl will be new enough to support tail calling. Xcode clang already supports tail calling. We should thus remove the chocolatey/brew installation to save CI resources in the near future. GCC 15 also supports tail calling, and that will come with Ubuntu 25.04.
I propose to do this in a month, so that we give the CI time to get the newest tools.
Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

Research direction
Review linked PRs gh-143357, gh-144516, and gh-144544 first, then locate the CI configuration that installs Chocolatey or Homebrew for tail-calling support. Done means those installations are removed once the stated MSVC, Xcode clang, and GCC support is available.
