Doc: tweak installation doc edits made by commit 76c2af926. 

We don't consider that building with MinGW is deprecated,
so adjust some places that gave that impression.
Per discussion with Peter Eisentraut.

The MinGW build procedure uses the normal build system described in
this chapter; the Visual C++ build works completely differently
and is described in <xref linkend="install-windows"/>.
The Visual C++ build is recommended, as it is fully native and uses no
additional software like MinGW. A ready-made installer is available on
the main PostgreSQL web site.
