LOG: [docs] Update docs for CMake `LLVM_LIT_TOOLS_DIR` to Git for Windows (#217003)
The GnuWin32 tools no longer support all the lit test use cases and the
requirements in `GettingStartedVS.md` were changed to Git for Windows in
2021. Update the docs for CMake `LLVM_LIT_TOOLS_DIR` to also use Git for
Windows.
