Pre-pull/cache Windows nanoserver and servercore images

Arran Walker requested to merge ajwalker/pre-pull-windows-docker-images into main

What does this MR do?

Pre-pulls Windows nanoserver and servercore images.

Why was this MR needed?

Anybody using these Windows images and Docker will likely be pulling images based on either servercore or nanoserver. By having them pre-pulled and extracted, pulling images based on them is significantly faster.

What's the best way to test this MR?

Pipeline should pass. Check generated image contains pre-pulled images with docker images.

What are the relevant issue numbers?

Relevant to improving Runner Windows container building: gitlab-org/gitlab-runner#30835 (closed)
