Subject: [PATCH] CI: stop and retry zig cc when it hangs under ARM64 emulation

The win-arm64 job hung at "Build Explorer menu extension" twice on 2026-11-04 (#1090, #1101) until the two-hour
limit, while the same step takes about two minutes. zig cc now gets eight minutes per try, three tries, each retry
with a cache of its own; the step itself stops after 30 minutes.
