Install docs misleading for Windows

  1. https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/blob/v3.1.0/INSTALL.md says for Windows go to https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/wiki/WindowsInstallation
  2. https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/wiki/WindowsInstallation says Windows binaries are available at http://mapnik.org/pages/downloads.html
  3. http://mapnik.org/pages/downloads.html only has source build info, no Windows installer binary to download

Instructions for windows installation need to be fixed up, at the moment it is very misleading and frustrating

...buried halfway down the page before continuing with other non-windows build/installation stuff... that should be at the top
