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

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).

:::warning Early BETA
Native Windows support is **early beta**. It installs and works for the common paths, but hasn't been road-tested as broadly as our POSIX installers. Please [file issues](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues) when you hit rough edges. For the most battle-tested setup on Windows today, use the Linux/macOS one-liner above inside **WSL2** instead.
