Camilla Löwy d11cb3779b Win32: Remove support for Windows XP and Vista
It's increasingly difficult to maintain a safe testing environment for
Windows XP, and so increasingly a burden on contributors to maintain
support for it.

Windows XP has been out of of support since 2014 and should not be used
as a desktop OS.

Fixes #2505

[TOC]
## New features {#features}
### Unlimited mouse buttons {#unlimited_mouse_buttons}
GLFW now has an input mode which allows an unlimited number of mouse buttons to
be reported by the mouse buttton callback, rather than just the associated
[mouse button tokens](@ref buttons). This allows using mouse buttons with
values over 8. For compatibility with older versions, the
@ref GLFW_UNLIMITED_MOUSE_BUTTONS input mode needs to be set to make use of
this.
## Caveats {#caveats}
## Deprecations {#deprecations}
## Removals {#removals}
### Windows XP and Vista support has been removed {#winxp_vista}
Support for Windows XP and Vista has been removed. Windows XP has been out of extended
support since 2014.
### Original MinGW support has been removed {#original_mingw}
Support for the now unmaintained original MinGW distribution has been removed.
This does not apply to the much more capable [MinGW-w64](https://www.mingw-w64.org/),
which remains fully supported. MinGW-w64 can build both 32- and 64-bit binaries, is
actively maintained and available on many platforms.
