Remove obsolete "known problem" from Windows instructions
Also clarify a bit that it's not interfacing with other Windows libraries that is possible with the MSVC toolchain, but only with ones that are incompatible with MINGW. Which are not that many after all. And add a comment that using the MSVC toolchain allows using the Visual Studio debugger.

`%VCPKGDIR%\bin` is too late in the `PATH` environment variable, and DLLs for other programs are being found before the ones installed alongside GTK. Move `%VCPKGDIR%\bin` earlier in your `PATH` and try again.
