cmake : Link vulkan-shaders-gen with pthreads (ggml-org#8835)

When using CMake to build with Vulkan support, compiling
vulkan-shaders-gen fails due to missing a CMakeLists.txt specification
to link vulkan-shaders-gen with the threading library, resulting in the
following error.

    [5/172] Linking CXX executable bin/vulkan-shaders-gen
    FAILED: bin/vulkan-shaders-gen

Add the CMakeLists.txt specification to link vulkan-shaders-gen with the
threading library and fix the above error.

Fixes ggml-org#8834

[Vulkan] Fix compilation of `vulkan-shaders-gen` on w64devkit after `…

…e31a4f6` (ggml-org#8880)

* Fix compilation issue in `vulkan-shaders-gen`

ggml-org@e31a4f6 broke compilation on w64devkit. Including `algorithm` seems to fix that.

* Guard it under `#ifdef _WIN32`
