main: Make the msys/python check work again, in some cases
msys/python in MSYS2 pretends to be cygwin in all cases for some time
now, so this check was impossible to hit.
The underlying confusion it tried to prevent is still there, namely trying
to build with mingw but wrongly using a msys/cygwin python/meson.
We can use the MSYSTEM env var to detect if we are in a mingw shell, and
in case the Python doesn't match we suggest installing mingw variants of both
python and meson.
Using msys/python + meson in a MSYS environment works fine on the other hand,
so no need to error out in that case.
Fixes #8726
Also addresses the concern raised in
