Update README.md (#500) 

Updated the instructions for building on Windows systems based on my experience.
The key part was the addition of 'git' to the installation of dependencies, without build would fail.
The rest were just attempting to make steps more clear or detailed.
Use as you wish :)

**Preparing the build environment**
* Download and install the [MSYS2 installer](https://www.msys2.org), either the 64-bit or the 32-bit package, depending on your system.
* Open the MSYS shell via the `MSYS2 Shell` shortcut
* Download and install the [MSYS2 installer](https://www.msys2.org), either the 64-bit (x86_64) or the 32-bit (i686) package, depending on your system.
* Note: Installation must be on the C drive and root directory as result of [Monero issue 3167](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/issues/3167).
* Open the MSYS shell via the `MSYS2 MSYS` shortcut in the Start Menu or "C:\msys64\msys2_shell.cmd -msys"
* Update packages using pacman:
pacman -Syu
* Exit the MSYS shell using Alt+F4
* Edit the properties for the `MSYS2 Shell` shortcut changing "msys2_shell.bat" to "msys2_shell.cmd -mingw64" for 64-bit builds or "msys2_shell.cmd -mingw32" for 32-bit builds
* Restart MSYS shell via modified shortcut and update packages again using pacman:
* Exit the MSYS shell using Alt+F4 when you get a warning stating: "terminate MSYS2 without returning to shell and check for updates again/for example close your terminal window instead of calling exit"
* Open the MSYS MinGW shell via the `MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit` shortcut or "C:\msys64\msys2_shell.cmd -mingw64" for 64-bit builds or via the `MSYS2 MinGW 32-bit` shortcut or "C:\msys64\msys2_shell.cmd -mingw32" for 32-bit builds
* Update packages again using pacman:
pacman -Syu

or `MinGW-w64-Win64 Shell` shortcut on 32-bit Windows. Note that if you are
running 64-bit Windows, you will have both 64-bit and 32-bit MinGW shells.
* Close and reopen the MSYS MinGW shell via `MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit` shortcut on
64-bit Windows or `MSYS2 MinGW 32-bit` shortcut on 32-bit Windows. Note
that if you are running 64-bit Windows, you will have both 64-bit and
