Stu Leak 5d07d5bb61 feat(docs): create dedicated Windows installation guide
This commit introduces a new, comprehensive installation guide for
Windows users (INSTALL_WINDOWS.md) and refactors the main
INSTALLATION.md into a platform-agnostic hub.

This addresses the documentation gap for the Windows platform, providing
clear and distinct instructions for all supported operating systems.
