Windows: Remove mingwex dependency

The clang based toolchain uses ucrt as its math library
and so mingwex is no longer needed.  In fact using mingwex
will cause incompatibilities as the default routines in both
have differing ULPs and string formatting modifiers.

During interactive linking, GHCi couldn't find the following symbol:
  templatezmhaskell_LanguageziHaskellziTHziLibziInternal_stringL_closure
This may be due to you not asking GHCi to load extra object files,
archives or DLLs needed by your current session.  Restart GHCi, specifying
the missing library using the -L/path/to/object/dir and -lmissinglibname
flags, or simply by naming the relevant files on the GHCi command line.
Alternatively, this link failure might indicate a bug in GHCi.
If you suspect the latter, please report this as a GHC bug:

+   Note [GHC Linking model and import libraries]
+   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+   The above describes how import libraries work for static linking.
+   Fundamentally this does not apply to dynamic linking as we do in GHC.
+   The issue is two-folds:
+
+   1. In the linking model above it is expected that the .idata sections be
+      materialized into PLTs during linking.  However in GHC we never create
+      PLTs,  but have out own mechanism for this which is the jump island
+      machinery.   This is required for efficiency.  For one materializing the
+      .idata sections would result in wasting pages.   We'd use one page for
+      every ~100 bytes.  This is extremely wasteful and also fragments the
+      memory.  Secondly the dynamic linker is lazy.  We only perform the final
+      loading if the symbol is used, however with an import library we can
+      discard the actual OC immediately after reading it.   This prevents us from
+      keeping ~1k in memory per symbol for no reason.
+
+   2. GHC itself does not observe symbol visibility correctly during NGC.   This
+      in itself isn't an academic exercise.  The issue stems from GHC using one
+      mechanism for providing two incompatible linking modes:
+      a)  The first mode is generating Haskell shared libraries which are
+           intended to be used by other Haskell code.   This requires us to
+           export the info, data and closures.   For this GHC just re-exports
+           all symbols.  But it doesn't correcly mark data/code.  Symbol
+           visibility is overwritten by telling the linker to export all
+           symbols.
+      b)  The second code is producing code that's supposed to be call-able
+          through a C insterface.   This in reality does not require the
+          export of closures and info tables.  But also does not require the
+          inclusion of the RTS inside the DLL.  Hover this is done today
+          because we don't properly have the RTS as a dynamic library.
+          i.e.  GHC does not only export symbols denoted by foreign export.
+          Also GHC should depend on an RTS library, but at the moment it
+          cannot because of TNTC is incompatible with dynamic linking.
+
+   These two issues mean that for GHC we need to take a different approach
+   to handling import libraries.  For normal C libraries we have proper
+   differentiation between CODE and DATA.   For GHC produced import libraries
+   we do not.   As such the SYM_TYPE_DUP_DISCARD tells the linker that if a
+   duplicate symbol is found, and we were going to discard it anyway, just do
+   so quitely.  This works because the RTS symbols themselves are provided by
+   the currently loaded RTS as built-in symbols.
+
+   Secondly we cannot rely on a text symbol being available.   As such we
+   should only depend on the symbols as defined in the .idata sections,
+   otherwise we would not be able to correctly link against GHC produced
+   import libraries.
