QEMU does not support 32-bit Windows anymore, so we should not
tempt the users to download old builds.
OTOH, there is now interest in Windows build on arm computers instead
(see e.g. https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/2850 ), so
let's add a link to these builds instead.

Please let us wait a bit until someone confirms that the ARM binaries 
for Windows really work.

There is currently only a single experimental installer on 
https://qemu.weilnetz.de/aarch64/. I cannot test it myself because I 
don't have an ARM basedWindows available for some minimal testing.
