MSVC: lower C4100 warning level from 4 to 3

The C4100 warning is related to unused formal parameters in functions.

Enabling it better aligns with "-Wunused-parameter" option in other
compilers.

While suppressing it with `__pragma(warning(suppress:4100))` is not the
same as using `__attribute__((__unused__))` in GCC or Clang, it is
still preferable to use it over completely hiding the warning.

This ensures consistent warning behavior across compilers and improves
code quality by addressing unused function parameters.

(Note that some warnings in Windows-specific code have already been
silenced in 7fcb262dfd)
