Streamline GH workflow and harmonize instructions across OSs.

Use bash as the shell for all OS instead of bash for macos/linux and
pwsh for windows.

Instead of passing environment variables via configure.vars
to remotes::install_git, set them via Sys.setenv() in R before
calling install_git. This works across all OSs. For some reason
configure.vars set the environment variables on linux/mac but not
on windows.

 Use multicore compilation and build additional modules not included in the default build setup such as SimpleElastix (registration) and DCMTK (additional DICOM IO option beyond the default GDCM).
