docs: refresh Windows host page for new users; drop stale Status/NVIDIA-only/SudoVDA

Rewrite the Windows host docs page for first-time setup, on par with the
other host guides: remove the standout "Status:" banner, restructure into
Requirements / Install (web console + pairing + configure) / How it works /
Notes & limits.

Bring the content up to date with the shipping host:
- encode is all-vendor (NVENC/AMF/QSV + software fallback), not NVIDIA-only
- virtual display is punktfunk's own pf-vdisplay IDD (SudoVDA removed)
- gamepads need no prerequisite — UMDF drivers bundled; ViGEmBus is gone
- add HDR10 + Vulkan-game HDR layer coverage

Fix the same stale claims where other pages cross-reference the Windows host
(requirements, running-as-a-service, install, roadmap, status).

Other wlroots compositors (Sway/Hyprland) also work but aren't a primary target. If your desktop isn't
listed, the host still needs one of these compositor backends to create a virtual display.
