ci: Install `pyzmq` for functional tests on Windows
What changed, and why it matters
This change updates Bitcoin Core's Windows CI workflow to install the Python `pyzmq` package before running functional tests. It is a build/test infrastructure fix with no direct effect on the Bitcoin Core software users run, and no security relevance is apparent from the commit itself.
No security action required. Treat as routine CI maintenance.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The commit modifies .github/workflows/ci.yml to add py -3 -m pip install pyzmq in two Windows CI job steps before invoking test/functional/test_runner.py. This ensures the ZeroMQ Python bindings are available for functional tests that depend on ZMQ notifications. The change is purely CI/test environment configuration.
