Merge #16667: build: remove mingw linker workaround from win gitian descriptor

bd3f5a9 build: remove mingw linker workaround from win gitian descriptor (fanquake)

Pull request description:

  This workaround was added as part of the switch to gitian building using Ubuntu 14.04 (#6900).
  However, it should no longer be required, as we have switched to Bionic (#13171) and that
  has a far newer version of binutils.

  Original discussion: bitcoin/bitcoin#6900
  binutils patch: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16192
