appveyor: update comments to be clear about toolchain

- CMake-based MSYS builds use mingw-w64 to cross-compile.
- autotools-based builds are compiled using msys2-devel.

The difference is that the later ones are not cross-compiled
to Windows and instead require the msys2 runtime to be present.

At the moment only the Azure Pipelines CI builds actually
run autotools-based cross-compilation builds for Windows.
