Hadrian: track mingw, ship it in bindists, more robust install script

Alp Mestanogullari requested to merge alp/ghc:wip/alp/hadrian-mingw-bindists into master

This patch:

  • introduces a rule to copy mingw from inplace/mingw to <build root>/mingw, instead of relying on the user to do that (Windows only)
  • ships the mingw toolchain in the bindist (Windows only)
  • makes the Makefile shipped in bindists a little more robust (to directories with spaces in them in particular)

In order to edit the .gitlab-ci.yml file so as to test this in CI, we have to wait for !450 (merged) and !461 (merged) to land, but some feedback would already be quite welcome. Note that I do tweak the CI script, to remove the manual copying of the mingw directory in order to make sure that this patch does what it advertises.
