bpo-45188: Windows now regenerates frozen modules at the start of build instead of late (GH-28322)
This will enable us to drop the frozen module header files from the repository. It does currently cause many source files to be built twice, which just takes more time. For whoever comes to fix this in the future, the files shared between freeze_module and pythoncore should be put into a static library that is consumed by both.

+Windows builds now regenerate frozen modules as the first part of the build.
+Previously the regeneration was later in the build, which would require it
+to be restarted if any modules had changed.
