We are currently relying on two different ways to insert side-by-side manifests in binaries on Windows: through resource files, or through the use of MT. The latter is not supported on mingw builds, which is not great. Link.exe has options to add a manifest at link time without relying on either method above, but that's not supported on mingw either. So the best we can do is to move everything to using resource files. This also avoids using MT, which, on cross builds, requires using wine. Ideally, the manifests would be declared in moz.build, but that complicates things for cases like TestDllInterceptor, where there are multiple binaries in the same directory, but only one of them needs the manifest. This keeps the status quo of getting the manifest automatically from the source directory. Differential Revision: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D85382
