installer_cross: Explicitly disable readline support
It's worth first checking if the main issues is easily solvable now. It's quite possible that now that we've switched from msys1 to msys2, it is.

Wasn't trivial. Better to have the explicit readline disabling for now (so one can work with crosser-2.4 development version)
Freeciv readline support does not work at all on Windows, but building it in makes the server console completely unusable. Currently msys2 builds explicitly disable readline support. For installer_cross builds configure disables readline support automatically as there's no readline available in crosser environment.
It's likely that readline support will be included in crosser-2.4. That availability of readline will make freeciv configure to automatically enable readline support.
We should explicitly disable readline support in installer_cross builds, as long as it doesn't work on Windows. (Of course the whole point of including readline in crosser is to make it possible to use it in the future - and to debug issues in current versions to develop that future version)
