[Clang] Remove gnuwin32 documentation references (#177557)

Browse Source 
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 The project is no
longer maintained, and as LLVM is now using Git, `llvm-lit` is now using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.

This appears to have been on
[discourse](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/gnuwin32-alternatives-for-tests-of-msvc-build/42846/3)
but not implemented yet.

The Clang and LLVM test suite use various GNU core utilities, such as
<tt>grep</tt>, <tt>sed</tt>, and <tt>find</tt>. The gnuwin32 packages
are the oldest and most well-tested way to get these tools. However, the
MSys utilities provided by git for Windows have been known to work.
Cygwin has worked in the past, but is not well tested.
