Gerald Combs c656affc34 Windows: Get rid of textify.ps1.
We used textify.ps1 to ensure that the .txt files in our Windows
installers would render properly in Notepad if the user double-clicked
on them. Newer versions of Windows have a more sane Notepad, so this is
no longer necessary:

Copy COPYING, NEWS, README.md, and README.windows once.

Update README.windows.
