README.win32: Update about using bundled GLib

Browse source 
We support building pkg-config with the copy of GLib that is bundled with
pkg-config, and it is the default, so it's best to mention about it.

Building pkg-config is now supported on Visual Studio/MSVC as well. To
build it, you will need to have a glib installation. Note that MSVC
builds of glib does not have a build-time dependency on pkg-config,
unlike the normal autotools builds. The headers and libs either need to
be found in your default %INCLUDE% and %LIB% respectively, or they need
to be found in $(GLIB_PREFIX)\include and $(GLIB_PREFIX)\lib respectively;
please see Makefile.vc for adjusting $(GLIB_PREFIX) to suit your needs.
To build pkg-config with MSVC, run in a Visual Studio command prompt from
the "nmake" subdirectory:
build it, you can choose to use an existing glib installation, or build
pkg-config with the copy of GLib that is bundled with the pkg-config
sources, by using `HAVE_GLIB=1` in your NMake command line to use an
existing installation of GLib. Building with the bundled GLib will
require an existing installation of gettext-runtime or proxy-libintl.

short Visual Studio version, which is 9 for 2008, 10 for 2010, 14 for 2015

through 2022 is supported, for the x86, x86_64 (x64) and aarch64 (ARM64)

that building with the glib bundled with this source
distribution is not currently supported-the glib DLL and all of its
dependent DLLs are required at runtime.

GLIib DLL and all of its dependent DLLs are required at runtime if using
an existing installation, if using the GLib that is bundled with
pkg-config; if using the bundled GLib, the built pkg-config-glib.dll is
required along with the gettext-runtime or proxy-libintl DLL.
