fix: Windows MinGW CTest compatibility - DLL loading and module paths

- Add cmake -E chdir wrapper for CTest on Windows to resolve DLL loading
- Auto-copy MinGW runtime DLLs to build directories during configure
- Fix module paths in integration tests (.so -> .dll for Windows)
- Update grove_add_test macro for cross-platform test registration

Tests now pass: 55% (16/29) on Windows MinGW
