Subject: [PATCH] [CI] Add basic checks workflow with one job

Apache Airflow uses this same basic check:

https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/3c5348fd05be80738c71eb075956f87e7d5fcec3/.github/workflows/basic-tests.yml#L293

We don't have much test coverage running on Windows.

Should be quick to run on the GitHub CI
