The for_list feature was introduced in Perl 5.36 and declared stable in 5.40.
It provides faster looping over hashes in cases where one otherwise iterates over keys and then accesses the values.
The update to 5.36 required changes to the CI configs on Windows.
This PR also removes Faster::Maths as stability issues arose when updating the CI. F::M is nice to have but not essential, and requires careful handling anyway given known issues.
