gnu: mingw-w64: Fix home page and avoid further confusion.

Browse source 
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.

(description
"Minimalist GNU for Windows (@dfn{MinGW}) is a complete software
development environment for creating native Microsoft Windows applications.
It includes a set of Windows-specific header files and static import libraries
which enable the use of the Windows API. It does not rely on any third-party C
runtime dynamic-link libraries (@dfn{DLL}s).
Mingw-w64 is an advancement of the original mingw.org project and provides
several new APIs such as DirectX and DDK, and 64-bit support.")
