Auto merge of rust-lang#125590 - ChrisDenton:mingw-ci-3, r=<try>

Add a "Setup Python" action for github-hosted runners and remove unnecessary `CUSTOM_MINGW` environment variable

The Setup Python action isn't strictly necessary ([even on Windows](rust-lang#125584)) but it is [recommend by GitHub](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/automating-builds-and-tests/building-and-testing-python#specifying-a-python-version).

The `CUSTOM_MINGW` environment variable is redundant now as it's always set for mingw and always unset otherwise.
