Update doc for Windows cross-compilation

Browse Source 
- Explain the parameters of package_from_installed.py, removing obsolete
  values and providing more recent examples so it matches minimum
  recommended and required values of [1].
- Clarify that URL DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN_BASE_URL is the directory
  containing the zip file, not the file itself. See [2].

@ -60,16 +60,22 @@ After installing [Microsoft's development tools](windows_build_instructions.md#v
you can package your Windows SDK installation into a zip file by running the following on a Windows machine:
cd path/to/depot_tools/win_toolchain
# customize the Windows SDK version numbers
python package_from_installed.py 2017 -w 10.0.17134.0
python package_from_installed.py <vs version> -w <win version>
where `<vs version>` and `<win version>` correspond respectively to the
versions of Visual Studio (e.g. 2019) and of the Windows SDK (e.g.
10.0.19041.0) installed on the Windows machine.
These commands create a zip file named `<hash value>.zip`. Then, to use the
generated file in a Linux or Mac host, the following environment variables
need to be set:
export DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN_BASE_URL=<path/to/sdk/zip/file>
export DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN_BASE_URL=<base url>
export GYP_MSVS_HASH_<toolchain hash>=<hash value>
`<base url>` is the path of the directory containing the zip file (note that
specifying scheme `file://` is not required).
`<toolchain hash>` is hardcoded in `src/build/vs_toolchain.py` and can be found by
setting `DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN_BASE_URL` and running `gclient sync`:
