Submission Checklist

Summary

As of this Math PR, CmdStan and models can build and sample with the stock RTools toolchain (no need to install mingw32-make or gcc via msys2).

This PR updates the docs to remove all references to mingw32-make, and simplifies the windows toolchain setup to simply installing RTools43 and adding the folders to PATH

I've also removed the instructions for RTools40 and RTools42, since I don't think we want to continue maintaining instructions for every version of RTools that is released (this is mostly my opinion, happy to revert)
