docs(windows): correct native data dir to %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes (#42856)
* docs(windows): correct native data dir to %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes

The Windows-native guide claimed a deliberate split where config, auth,
skills, and sessions live under %USERPROFILE%\.hermes. That is not what
the installer does: scripts/install.ps1 sets HERMES_HOME=%LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes,
so data actually lives in %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes alongside the disposable
install (the hermes-agent\, git\, node\, bin\ subdirectories) — `hermes
config` confirms config.yaml/.env resolve there, not under %USERPROFILE%.

Update the data-layout table, the "split is deliberate" note, the env-var
and uninstall sections to describe the real layout: data and install share
the %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes root, reinstall only replaces hermes-agent\, and
a full wipe targets %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes (with %USERPROFILE%\.hermes kept
only as a legacy/WSL cleanup). Mention HERMES_HOME as the override knob.

* docs(windows): fix PATH + bin layout to match installer

The installer adds hermes-agent\venv\Scripts (where hermes.exe lives) to
User PATH and sets HERMES_HOME — not %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\bin. The \bin
dir holds Hermes's managed uv.exe, not a hermes.cmd shim. Correct the
install-step list and the data-layout table accordingly.

* fix(install): show real HERMES_HOME path in setup messages

The native Windows installer wrote config/env/skills under $HermesHome
(%LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes) but its success messages claimed ~/.hermes,
which doesn't exist on native Windows. Print the actual paths so a new
user can find their config, .env, and skills.
