MinGW: help ./configure find shared libraries for dynamic loading

We apply the attached patch to the mingw-w64-SDL2_mixer package in MSYS2:

https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-SDL2_mixer

When using the 64-bit variant of the MinGW compiler, the configure script fails to find any of the installed shared libraries for dynamic linking. The patch fixes this issue by replacing the "*-*-mingw32*" search pattern with "*-*-mingw*".

Then, some libraries are installed with a "lib" prefix while others are not. I have extended the problematic cases with both alternatives.

Last but not least, libraries might have been installed into any of the directories accessible via the PATH environment variable, so we search in these paths as well.

Best regards,

 - Fabian
