BUG: Build from source fails for scikit-learn v1.6.1 on Windows 11 with Visual Studio Build Tools 2022, Ninja subprocess error

### Describe the bug

First of all, thank you guys for the fantastic job with Sklearn. 
I'm trying to build from source to start contributing to the project, but it ended with me bringing more issues to you. 
After struggling for some days with this problem, I'm seeking help. Maybe if you have some clue or workaround, I could open a Pull Request with the solution for this.

I am following the guidelines for [Contributing with Scikit-learn](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/developers/contributing.html#contributing), and for that, it is necessary to [Build from source on Windows](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/developers/advanced_installation.html#windows), which recomends install  Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019, but nowadays is not possible to download the 2019 version just the [Build Tools for Visual Studio 2022 installer](https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vs_buildtools.exe).

The installation of Build Tools for Visual Studio 2022 runs smoothly(and also the initialization of its Environment), as well as the creation of the Python virtual environment and the installation of the packages `wheel, numpy, scipy, cython, meson-python, ninja`.

But in the step of building from source using the `pip install --editable`, the build breaks when Compiling C objects after some [C4090 warnings](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/error-messages/compiler-warnings/compiler-warning-level-1-c4090?view=msvc-170), throwing an `metadata-generation-failed error` from a subprocess of `ninja build`.

This seems related/similar to issue #31123. Despite not being the same problem, if we find a solution, it may work for both issues.

### Steps/Code to Reproduce

I have tried the steps using `pip install` and also `conda-forge` in different versions of Python: pip :{3.10.11, 3.12.7} conda:{ 3.13.2}  to check if it was a problem with Python/pip itself.

1. **Environment Setup:**
- OS:  Windows 11 Pro, Version 24H2, OS build 26100.3476
- System type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
- Installed Visual Studio Build **2022**, version 17.13.5 (It is not possible to download from Microsoft the 2019 version as recommended)
  -  I also restarted the computer after installing (because it is Windows, so you never know)

![VSbuildTools](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3fd83a4d-0451-4c79-97f4-ff6d796a75d9)

2. **Project directory**
- `C:\Users\vitor.pohlenz\Documents\Python\vpz\scikit-learn`

3. **Installing compiler**
Installed [Microsoft build Tools 2022](https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vs_buildtools.exe)

Initialized the enviroment:
```
SET DISTUTILS_USE_SDK=1

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\BuildTools\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" x64
```
Which gives the output:

```
**********************************************************************
** Visual Studio 2022 Developer Command Prompt v17.13.5
** Copyright (c) 2022 Microsoft Corporation
**********************************************************************
[vcvarsall.bat] Environment initialized for: 'x64'
```
 
4. **Steps Using pip**, the same error occurs using Python 3.10 or 3.12. I will provide the steps and logs just for 3.10 for the sake of simplicity.

Navigated to the project directory: `C:\Users\vitor.pohlenz\Documents\Python\vpz\scikit-learn`

Created the Python virtual environment, upgraded pip, and installed the dependencies
```
py -3.10 -m venv envsklearn

envsklearn\Scripts\python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip

envsklearn\Scripts\activate

pip install wheel numpy scipy cython meson-python ninja
```

Until here, everything works as expected. But when building from source, in the command below, the error occurs:

```
pip install --editable . --verbose --no-build-isolation --config-settings editable-verbose=true
```

5. **Using conda forge**:
To check if it wasn't a problem with pip I have also used `conda-forge`, as described in the [Building from Source tutorial](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/developers/advanced_installation.html#building-from-source):

`conda create -n sklearn-env -c conda-forge python numpy scipy cython meson-python ninja`
`conda activate sklearn-env`
`pip install --editable . --verbose --no-build-isolation --config-settings editable-verbose=true`

> Note: I used 2 different environment names to avoid confusion: `envsklearn` is the `venv` that uses `pip`, and `sklearn-env` is the `conda env`

### Expected Results

The build of scikit-learn should finish and install without error, or at least with a few warnings.

### Actual Results

## Using pip install
It seems that the Meson build system finds the compiler for C, C+++, and also the `ninja.exe` in the environment. But ninja subprocess breaks when compiling `C object sklearn/metrics/_dist_metrics.cp310-win_amd64.pyd.p/meson-generated_sklearn_metrics__dist_metrics.pyx.c.obj`

Error message:
```

## Using Conda

For `conda env`, the problem seems to be associated with `undeclared identifiers` and `syntax errors`

COMMENT:
Just a wild guess, maybe this is due to windows path length limitation, see https://scikit-learn.org/dev/install.html#error-caused-by-file-path-length-limit-on-windows for a possible work-around.

Here is the part of your detailed log where the error seems to happen, notice the `fatal error C1083: Cannot open compiler generated file: '': Invalid argument`. This does not make much sense since there is a `.cpp` path as the last argument, but the `.cpp` path length seems to be close to the path length limit so maybe this is related:
