Win32: Remove support for original MinGW

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

## Removals {#removals}
### Original MinGW support has been removed {#original_mingw}
Support for the now unmaintained original MinGW distribution has been removed.
This does not apply to the much more capable [MinGW-w64](https://www.mingw-w64.org/),
which remains fully supported. MinGW-w64 can build both 32- and 64-bit binaries, is
actively maintained and available on many platforms.
