Fix 2 broken links: Mingw 32 bit is not supported anymore my msys so removing entire section, other link was broken and lead to wrong file.

docs/cpp/configure-intellisense.md:202

  • The link target is updated, but the link text still says “Customizing default settings”. If /docs/cpp/customize-cpp-settings.md is the intended destination, update the visible text to match the target (e.g., “Customizing C++ settings”) to avoid misleading navigation.
* For more information about IntelliSense configuration, see [Customizing default settings](/docs/cpp/customize-cpp-settings.md).

docs/cpp/config-mingw.md:147

  • If this sentence is intended to direct users specifically to the IntelliSense configuration section within configure-intellisense.md, consider linking to an anchor (e.g., .../configure-intellisense.md#...) rather than the top of the page. This reduces reader friction and makes the reference more stable to future doc reorganization.
If IntelliSense is not already configured, open the Command Palette (`kb(workbench.action.showCommands)`) and enter **Select IntelliSense Configuration**. From the dropdown of compilers, select `Use gcc.exe` to configure. More information can be found in the [IntelliSense configuration documentation](/docs/cpp/configure-intellisense.md).
