Workaround stochastic python module load behavior in CI windows build
- "import getfem" fails like 90% of the times
- presumably due to libmmd.dll not loading or taking too long to load
- issue occurs only for post-2024 Intel OneAPI toolchain
- replacing libmmd.dll with a pre-2025 version resolves the issue
- alternatively preloading this dll with ctypes resolves the issue
as well
- this commit applies the latter workaround
