Update README.md

Browse source 
Encountered an issue going through the guide for installing the `mingw` toolchain on Windows with msys2, after some googling I found the [solution](https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/issues/163#issuecomment-73555971) and thought it would be good to update the README so people don't get frustrated. :)

$ pacman -S base-devel
```
> ***Note:*** If the package install fails during retrieval, you may need to update
> `pacman`'s mirrors before attempting to install the `mingw64` toolchain. An example
> of the symptom of this problem would be...
> ```sh
> error: failed retrieving file 'mingw-w64-x86_64-libiconv-1.14-4-any.pkg.tar.xz'
> from downloads.sourceforge.net : The requested URL returned error: 404
> ```
> To update the mirrors for pacman, simply run the following commands in your
> MSYS2 terminal and retry installing the `mingw64` toolchain.
> ```sh
> $ pacman -Sy&&pacman -S pacman-mirrors
> ```
3. Run `mingw32_shell.bat` or `mingw64_shell.bat` from wherever you installed
MSYS2 (i.e. `C:\msys`), depending on whether you want 32-bit or 64-bit Rust.
