[clang] [Clang] Remove gnuwin32 documentation references (PR #177557)

[Henry Kleynhans via cfe-commits]

https://github.com/hkleynhans created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/177557

Remove the documentation references to GnuWin32.  The project is no longer maintained, and as LLVM is now using Git, `llvm-lit` is now using the GNU core utilities packaged with it rather than requiring a separate installation.

Subject: [PATCH] [Clang] Remove gnuwin32 documentation references

Remove the documentation references to GnuWin32.  The project is no
longer maintained, and as LLVM is now using Git, `llvm-lit` is now
using the GNU core utilities packaged with it rather than requiring a
separate installation.
