gitlab-ci: ignore failures to disable realtime monitoring
We have recently introduced a change to disable realtime monitoring for Windows job in GitLab CI. This change led (and still leads) to a quite significant speedup. But there's a catch: seemingly, some of the runners we use already have realtime monitoring disabled. On such a machine, trying to disable the feature again leads to an error that causes the whole job to fail. Safeguard against such failures by explicitly ignoring them.
