Update README.md
Encountered an issue going through the guide for installing the `mingw` toolchain on Windows with msys2, after some googling I found the [solution](https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/issues/163#issuecomment-73555971) and thought it would be good to update the README so people don't get frustrated. :)

3. Run `mingw32_shell.bat` or `mingw64_shell.bat` from wherever you installed
|
||||
MSYS2 (i.e. `C:\msys`), depending on whether you want 32-bit or 64-bit Rust.
