Archives brave-<version>-win32-x64.zip (with windows release builds) are broken

See original GitHub issue

The zip archives brave-<version>-win32-x64.zip from https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases/ are broken. The chrome.dll and some other resources are missed => the browser fails to start. Also:

  1. The size much is less than standalone installed (~37MB vs 84MB, but should be near the same)
  2. The problem isn’t new. A year-old (Dec 2020) brave-v1.20.12-win32-x64.zip is also broken

You simply to download the recent win zip and check that it works (without any other brave instalation on the computer).

@atuchin-m can QA get a test plan for this one please? cc @rebron

if no manual QA is needed, we can change this to QA/No.
