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

Browse Source 
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).

The easy path is the **signed installer**: download `punktfunk-host-setup-<ver>.exe` from the package
registry ([`punktfunk-host-windows`](https://git.unom.io/unom/-/packages)) and run it. It drops the host
into `C:\Program Files\punktfunk`, optionally installs the bundled **SudoVDA** virtual-display driver,
and registers + starts the service for you (`/VERYSILENT` for unattended). Upgrades and uninstall are

Prefer the CLI? Run `punktfunk-host service install` from an elevated prompt — see

way you need an NVIDIA GPU + driver (the host is NVENC-only on Windows).

hardware encode you need a GPU — NVIDIA (NVENC), AMD (AMF), or Intel (QSV); the host falls back to
software H.264 without one.
