MINIFICPP-2718 Windows based docker tests

[martinzink]

This PR allows windows based docker containers to run the behave test suite with some limitations:

• I only enabled a handful of features because some of the tests are requiring thirdparty containers (linux only and windows doesnt allow mixed (windows and linux) containers)
• Even the tests that dont require thirdparty containers might rely on extra linux commands that needs to be replicated in powershell
• Its unfeasable to enable these in github CI, because this requires nested virtualization (which is quite rare for VMs).

So this is only the MVP for this feature, but it is still a huge help for future developments especially for using it to develop external extensions using the upcoming C api. It cuts down the local verification time.

I've also replaced the previous m2crypto based ssl_utils with the industry standard cryptography, this should help with the setup on macs and windows systems (m2crypto was quite difficult to install on these systems)

Pull request overview

This PR enables running a subset of the Behave integration test suite with Windows-based Docker containers, and refactors the test framework container abstractions to support both Linux and Windows. It also replaces the previous M2Crypto/PyOpenSSL-based SSL helpers with cryptography, improving cross-platform dependency installation.

Changes:

• Add Windows container support (new Windows container implementation, Windows MiNiFi container, and scenario tag gating via @SUPPORTS_WINDOWS).
• Refactor test containers to explicitly target Linux (LinuxContainer) and extract controller/config helpers.
• Replace SSL utilities implementation and dependencies with cryptography, updating affected test containers accordingly.
