gnu: mingw-w64: Fix home page and avoid further confusion.
MinGW-w64 was forked (in rather dramatic fashion) from the original
MinGW. The two projects remain distinct and MinGW-w64 seems by far the
actively developed of the two.
* gnu/packages/mingw.scm (mingw-w64)[home-page]: Point to the correct
upstream. Use HTTPS.
[description]: Expand and briefly note the relationship between the
two projects. Use @dfn.
