docs: the Windows build is a cross-compile, and only that
The docs offered a native build as an equal alternative -- "the same command builds natively on the Windows box itself, with zig on PATH and a make" -- and it does not work. Makefile.windows needs sed, cat, mkdir -p and shell grouping, none of which cmd.exe has; and on ARM64 `zig cc` in zig 0.16.0 dies with an access violation on a one-line C file, so the compiler cannot run there at all. The zip that does it matches the published shasum, so this is upstream rather than a bad download. Nobody following those two sentences reached a binary. So they are gone, along with the "# host arch, native" usage line in the makefile and the "cross-compiles too" aside in the two install sections, which both implied that building on the box was the normal path and the cross-compile a bonus. It is the other way round, and now the pages say so once, in the same words each time. `builds and runs natively` on the doc's first line loses `builds`: what is native about slosh.exe is the binary, not where it was made.
