  • Adds Wix Toolset to Windows requirements.
  • Recommends Bash for Windows.

I recommend Git for Windows because (1) it is installed with Git Bash and (2) it is commonly used by Windows developers to have a linux-like environment. This generally eliminates the need for separate Windows build instructions. I realize this is kind of pushy so would be happy to remove it from this PR and/or create an issue.

I see I shouldn't have closed the previous PR and opened a new one. I'll fix that one instead.
