The original MSYS2 environment variable MINGW_HOME is missing after a full upgrade of MSYS2. Use MSYSTEM instead.

1) Issue background
    a) on 'mingw32' terminal
    b) executable 'vim' in /usr/bin
    c) executable 'node' in /mingw32/bin.
    d) plugin 'markdow-preview.nvim' in ~/.vim/plugged
    e) app/route.js:68 fileDir is a  unix path
    f) image missing in browser preview
2) Issue fixing
    add code to app/route.js:
    a) extract info from environment variable MINGW_HOME
    b) prefixing imgPath with sth. like "E:\msys64\"
3) No issue alternative
    a) on 'ucrt64' terminal
    b) executable 'nvim' in /ucrt64/bin
    c) executable 'node' in /ucrt64/bin
    d) plugin 'markdown-preview.nvim' in ~/.vim/plugged
    e) app/route.js:68 fileDir is a win path
    f) image ok in browser preview
1) Based on info from MINGW_HOME is error-prone. Maybe the document is
   located on a windisk other than that of msys2 installation.
2) use 'cygpath.exe' to convert unix-like 'fileDir' to win-like one.
3) the conversion operation must follow the first assignment of 'fileDir'.
After a full upgrade of MSYS2 system, there is no environment variable
MINGW_HOME any more. It is replaced by MSYSTEM in this revision.
Manually update the reference to environment MSYS2 variable
