Win32: Remove support for original MinGW

Browse Source 
The original MinGW distribution appears to no longer be maintained and
should not be used.  Anyone still using MinGW should consider switching
to the MinGW-w64 fork or another actively maintained toolchain.
MinGW-w64 supports 64-bit binaries and provides much newer compilers and
Win32 headers.

Fixes #2540

example, Cygwin has the `mingw64-i686-gcc` and `mingw64-x86_64-gcc` packages
