Rollup merge of rust-lang#40865 - alexcrichton:downgrade-mingw, r=arielb1

appveyor: Downgrade MinGW to 6.2.0

It looks like the 6.3.0 MinGW comes with a gdb which has issues (rust-lang#40184) that an
attempted workaround (rust-lang#40777) does not actually fix (rust-lang#40835). The original
motivation for upgradin MinGW was to fix build flakiness (rust-lang#40546) due to newer
builds not exhibiting the same bug, so let's hope that 6.2.0 isn't too far back
in time and still contains the fix we need.

Closes rust-lang#40835
