Remove support for MinGW on Windows #5238

Description

@skhamis

In an effort to simplify our NSS issues: #5210

Application services has supported building NSS via MinGW for Windows due to a when our CI started failing due to a change from rust which broke .lib linked libs

The change from static .lib for windows occurred in this PR: #3210

It looks like this is no longer an issue in the latest versions of rust:

From what I understand, it officially works for both *-windows-gnu and MSVC targets now. However, since the official NSS CI builds for MSVC targets.
Dropping support for *-windows-gnu allows us:

  • To not have to support updating *-windows-gnu via complicated phab patch for potentially no consumers.
  • Keeps us inline with the artifact binaries produced by NSS CI, which also can simplify our update process

Open to questions, concerns or issues with dropping support!
