[IMPROVEMENT] Add WSL2 setup instructions for Windows users

In raising this pull request, I confirm the following:

  • I have read and understood the contributors guide.
  • I have checked that another pull request for this purpose does not exist.
  • I have considered, and confirmed that this submission will be valuable to others.
  • I accept that this submission may not be used, and the pull request closed at the will of the maintainer.
  • I give this submission freely, and claim no ownership to its content.

My familiarity with the project is as follows:

  • I have never used the project.

The current Windows installation section directs users to Cygwin, which
is the legacy method. The 2026 GSoC project goals for Sample Platform NG
specifically mention moving toward WSL2/Docker for Windows users.

This PR adds a WSL2 section above the existing Cygwin instructions,
giving Windows users a modern and recommended setup path.

Changes made:

  • Added Windows (Recommended: WSL2) section to install/installation.md
  • Includes step-by-step WSL2 setup instructions
  • Notes that Cygwin is the legacy method

Thanks for the PR, but given that the direction of this tool will be to run on a cloud platform only, I don't see any benefits in adding this. Closing the PR.
