In 08809c09aa13 (mingw: add a helper function to attach GDB to the current process, 2020-02-13), I added a declaration that was not needed. Back then, that did not matter, but now that the declaration of that symbol was changed in mingw-w64's headers, it causes the following compile error:
CC compat/mingw.o
compat/mingw.c: In function 'open_in_gdb':
compat/mingw.c:35:9: error: function declaration isn't a prototype [-Werror=strict-prototypes]
35 | extern char _pgmptr;

Let's just drop the declaration and get rid of this compile error.

This PR integrates the fix early that had been contributed in https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/1752 and was already integrated early into Git for Windows via https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/5017.
