Improve documentation about different linkers and subsystems used on Windows

DUB / compiling same source and config to different windows subsystems in 32/64 bit

The main problem is that there is no reference nor description that: x86 = Optilink x86_64 = MS-64 coff x86_ms32coff = MS-32 coff

IMO it would be better to use: x86 = MS-32 coff x86_64 = MS-64 coff x86_optilink = Optilink

See https://github.com/dlang/dub/pull/1661 (it's not exactly what you want, but does tackle the problem of the annoying wrong defaults for beginners).
