summary:

Skip signing side-loadable MSIX for Windows (GH-30644)

We currently do not release these files, and so there's nothing lost by signing them.
Our code signing certificate is somehow incompatible with signing MSIX files. We may be able to re-enable this when we next renew, or if Microsoft updates their signing tool to work with our certificate.
