Create a large Windows runner to test the collector MSI

[pjanotti]

I'm starting to work on open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-releases#576 and per tests on a separate repo a large Windows runner solved the issues mentioned at open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-releases#576 (comment).

Is it possible to get a large Windows runner for the releaser repo?

hi @pjanotti, sorry for the late reply, is this still an issue? I believe we can do this.

Yes, @trask - without the larger runner the tests will be very flaky (based on the experience with our distro and a larger Windows runner that we use to run MSI tests).

I've created a runner named otel-windows-latest-8-cores and given access to it to the opentelemetry-collector-releases repo, you should be able to use it in your workflow via:

runs-on: otel-windows-latest-8-cores
