MINGW: Define variable based on ABI check instead of compiler id

Brad King requested to merge brad.king/cmake:platform-vars into master

The MINGW variable indicates that the compiler targets MinGW, a GNU ABI on Windows. Since the compiler's target may be affected by flags known only after compiler identification (EDIT: only if CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_TARGET is defined after compiler identification, such as the Android-Clang case in the motivating issue), delay defining the MINGW variable until the ABI detection step. Also remove the now-unused undocumented CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_MINGW internal variable.

While at it, also remove redundant definitions of CYGWIN and UNIX variables on Cygwin. These are set by modules loaded for CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME. We do not need to set them again if the compiler defines __CYGWIN__.

Fixes: #22647 (closed)
