Ollama – v0.17.8-rc1: ci: Fix windows build (#14754)

🚨 Ollama v0.17.8-rc1 is live! 🚨

This one’s a micro-update with big implications for Windows devs and CI workflows — no flashy new features, but a solid behind-the-scenes upgrade!

🔧 What’s new?

  • Fixed Windows build issues (#14754) by swapping out shell-based wildcard expansion (`sh`) for a native Go implementation.
  • 🌐 Why it matters: `sh` (e.g., bash) behaves differently—or not at all—on Windows. This change boosts cross-platform consistency, especially in automated environments like GitHub Actions or Docker builds.
  • 🛠️ Think of it as Ollama finally nailing its Windows boot sequence — fewer “works on my machine” headaches!

📦 No user-facing changes yet, but this paves the way for smoother releases ahead. Keep an eye out for the stable `v0.17.8` drop! 🎯
