Start a mingw64 shell at the end #54

Many new users want to compile some C code with gcc for Windows, so that's what we suggest as first steps on the download page.

At the end of the wizard there is a "Run MSYS2 now" checkbox which would start a MSYS shell where mingw tools aren't in path.

Run a mingw64 shell instead, so users end up in the environment the install guide suggests and don't have to search in the start menu for it etc.
