This PR adds important troubleshooting info about MYSY2 in the README, as it does not mention the Go package to install to make cliamp compile via MSYS, or the error relative to GOROOT mentioned in the changes.

The macOS package command uses a fenced shell block. Windows installation includes mingw-w64-x86_64-go, followed by GOROOT verification and configuration guidance. The existing CGO fallback remains documented.
