Stephan Bergmann 8646ab97dc Remove MinGW support
In OOo times, there'd originally been efforts to allow building on Windows with
MinGW.  Later, in LO times, this has been shifted to an attempt of cross-
compiling for Windows on Linux.  That attempt can be considered abandoned, and
the relevant code rotting.

Due to this heritage, there are now three kinds of MinGW-specific code in LO:

* Code from the original OOo native Windows effort that is no longer relevant
  for the LO cross-compilation effort, but has never been removed properly.

* Code from the original OOo native Windows effort that is re-purposed for the
  LO cross-compilation effort.

* Code that has been added specifially for the LO cross-compilation effort.

All three kinds of code are removed.

(An unrelated, remaining use of MinGW is for --enable-build-unowinreg, utilizing
--with-mingw-cross-compiler, MINGWCXX, and MINGWSTRIP.)

Registry reading, etc.

This provides tools for dealing with the legacy binary types database
format, still in use by extensions and the core code. While the actual
binary file format is implemented by the [[store]] code, the wrapper
that turns this into a type registry is implemented here.

While this code is primarily used in only two modes:

* linear write / concatenate
* random access read

The API unfortunately exposes a random-access write approach, which -
while ~unused needs before we can re-write this away from the store
backend.
