Release process changes

pywin32 is now released from artifacts created by Github actions, whereas previously they were
created from an environment where certain tools and libraries were located and installed
by hand.

This means some capabilities are no longer provided - this includes some documentation artifacts, such
as the .chm file, certain MAPI libraries etc, and .exe installers.
