Add instructions for windows local development.

It took me some research, but I was able to run the mongodb/atlas:latest docker image on a windows machine using Docker Desktop. I had to add this config on WSL nestedVirtualization=true (see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl-config). Please add this to the documentation to save some troubleshooting time for other windows developers that might want to try this feature locally.

    Thanks for voting for this request, which is now complete. Additionally, we now also support the Atlas CLI flow for setting up local development environments on Windows.

    Hi Tomas, currently Windows is not a supported platform for local development https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/cli/stable/atlas-cli-deploy-local/#supported-os-for-local-atlas-deployments but we are actively working to improve the experience and bring support to more OSes including Windows and Ubuntu
