Please fix the README.md to not point to  #2797

Description

@Pomax

The "on windows" section of the readme (https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-windows) says:

If the above steps didn't work for you, please visit Microsoft's Node.js Guidelines for Windows for additional tips.

However, that page is horrendously out of date, telling people to install a long-dead npm package, or to manually install things by installing Python 2.7 because 3.x is not supported. It's 2023. Python 2.7 is long dead now.

Can this section be updated to point to a still sensible article, or if none exists, be replaced with instructions that are known to work in 2023?
