configure: Clearly state that MSYS native builds are discouraged

MSYS, as per cygwin, by default uses a custom posix abstraction
in the form of a "msys2.dll". Programs build that way are harder to
distribute and use.

MSYS2 provides alternate launcher scripts that provide a MINGW
environment nearly out of box.
