Update docs on building for Windows to accomodate current reality.

Document how to build 64 bit Windows binaries using the MinGW64 tool set.
Remove recommendation against using Mingw as a build platform.
Be more specific about when Cygwin is useful and when it's not, in
particular note its usefulness for running psql, and
add a note about building on Cygwin in non-C locales.

Per recent discussions.
