Demote i686-pc-windows-gnu to Tier 2

In accordance with RFC 3771.

I also added a stub doc page for the target and renamed the
windows-gnullvm page for consistency.

+
+**⚠️ These targets do not have any maintainers and are not properly maintained. ⚠️**
+
+If you are using this target, consider signing up to become a target maintainer.
+See the target tier policy for details.
+Without maintainers, these targets may be demoted in the future.
+
+## Requirements
+
+These targets support std and host tools.
+
+Unlike their MSVC counterparts, windows-gnu targets support cross-compilation and are free of all MSVC licensing implications.
+
+They follow Windows calling convention for `extern "C"`.
+
+Like with any other Windows target, created binaries are in PE format.
+
+## Building Rust programs
+
+Rust does ship a pre-compiled std library for those targets.
+That means one can easily compile and cross-compile for those targets from other hosts if C proper toolchain is installed.
