winbuild/README: consolidate command prompt section

- Remove reference to 'Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio'
shortcut since it opens in x86 mode.

That prompt may confuse users since it is not easily switched to x64.
Our instruction says vcvarsall can be used to change the platform but it
is not in the path in any version that I checked (VS 2010, 2013, 2022).

Instead users will now only see the remaining instruction to use a
platform specific command prompt to build curl, like "x64 Native Tools".

There's several links as well to Microsoft documentation for users that
have more complicated requirements, such as using vcvarsall.
