docs(windows): label native Windows support as early beta (#22115)

Browse Source 
Adds early-beta framing to every user-facing surface where native Windows
is introduced — landing page install block, Installation page, Windows
(Native) guide, contributor notes, and README. Sets expectations that the
path installs and runs but hasn't been road-tested as broadly as POSIX,
and points users who want maximum stability at WSL2 instead.

Follow-up to #21561 (native Windows support) and #22089 (Windows docs).

## Cross-Platform Compatibility
Hermes officially supports **Linux, macOS, WSL2, and native Windows** (via PowerShell install). Native Windows uses Git Bash (from [Git for Windows](https://git-scm.com/download/win)) for shell commands. A few features require POSIX kernel primitives and are gated: the dashboard's embedded PTY terminal pane (`/chat` tab) is WSL2-only.

The native-Windows path is new and moves fast — if you're doing Windows-heavy dev, expect to hit and fix rough edges.
