while playing with qtbase on x64-uwp i found that it could not pass a
try_compile command since important variables are not correctly
forwarded. As such I concluded that the handling of try_compile in vcpkg
is completely wrong.

* Add support for building with MinGW
Tested with MSYS2 MinGW 8.3.0, gcc-mcf.lhmouse MinGW 9.2.1,
and StephanTLavavej/mingw-distro!
* Add MinGW toolchain
From your MinGW configured shell you could just use vcpkg to
configure packages.
An x64-mingw triplet would look like:
```
set(VCPKG_TARGET_ARCHITECTURE x64)
set(VCPKG_CRT_LINKAGE dynamic)
set(VCPKG_LIBRARY_LINKAGE static)
set(VCPKG_ENV_PASSTHROUGH PATH)
set(VCPKG_CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME MinGW)
```
* Add MinGW community tripplets
x64 tested with https://github.com/StephanTLavavej/mingw-distro
x86, arm64, arm tested with https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw
