Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#32021: qa: Enable feature_init.py on Windows

59c4930 qa: Enable feature_init.py on Windows (Hodlinator)

Pull request description:

  Windows has been skipped since feature_init.py was added in #23289. Possibly due to poorer support on older Python versions, or attempts to use `CTRL_C_EVENT` (which didn't work in my testing either) instead of `CTRL_BREAK_EVENT`.
