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).

Please [file issues](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues) when you hit rough edges. For the most battle-tested Windows setup today, run the Linux/macOS one-liner above inside **WSL2**.

Native Windows install lives under `%LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes`; WSL2 installs under `~/.hermes` as on Linux. The only Hermes feature that currently needs WSL2 specifically is the browser-based dashboard chat pane (it uses a POSIX PTY — classic CLI and gateway both run natively).
