36f6e09f7e Documentation: Update WSL QEMU Installation Requirements
As Evil stated in the Discord, WSL users must install the DLL
libraries with their QEMU Installation or else they will receive
obscure errors about the syntax of the Meta/run.sh file as shown in
SerenityOS#14033.

f36781a8bc Documentation: Clarify Windows build instructions
People seem to easily miss the "Setting up build tools" section, so I
have moved that step above the filesystem information and linked
directly to BuildInstructions.md to hopefully make it harder to skip.

Also, added mention of `\\wsl$` since that regularly comes up in
Discord.

b805708c6f Documentation: Make sure Windows have QEMU tools in their WSL2 system
They don't need QEMU to run the VM but they do at least need the QEMU
tools to build the image.

e2299b52de Documentation: Move the QEMU troubleshooting section
This is no longer relevant for most users because due to an
unrelated change to Meta/run.sh the default display backend is now
SDL which does not exhibit this problem.

2c392669c6 Documentation: Remove another redundant chapter
Clearly nobody has used this in a while because cpuinfo.c
for GCC 11 does not contain the code that's mentioned here.

df84550b8f Documentation: Suggest using x86_64 QEMU on Windows
The x86_64 QEMU binary supports both i386 as well as x86_64 guests.
By using the x86_64 binary users won't have to change anything when
switching between i386 and x86_64 builds.
