The Windows parallel tests compile binaries with the Visual Studio 2017 toolchain. Keep the Chocolatey install for those jobs and skip it for serial jobs that do not exercise the compiler.

Description
Stacked on top of #5964.
The Windows workflow installs the Visual Studio 2017 Build Tools in every x64 matrix job. The step takes about 280 seconds. Several parallel tests compile binaries with that toolchain, while the serial test selection does not exercise it.
This PR keeps the Chocolatey installation in x64 parallel jobs and skips it in x64 serial jobs. ARM64 jobs remain unchanged.
This preserves the existing compiler and overlinking coverage while removing the install cost from half of the x64 Windows matrix.
