[gtkmm/meson-msvc-warnings: 1/2] meson.build/MSVC: Re-order warnings-related c[xx]flags a bit

    meson.build/MSVC: Re-order warnings-related c[xx]flags a bit
    
    Don't (needlessly) repeat checking for the '/utf-8' compiler flag, and
    use the `/wd4267` compiler flag only when building a 64-bit build, since
    warning C4267 only applies for 64-bit builds.
    
    Also, add a short description for the warning-related compiler flags for
    Visual Studio.
