docs: drop early-beta framing for native Windows support (#36093)

Browse Source 
Native Windows is out of beta. Removes the early-beta warnings, headings,
and rough-edge framing across the README and docs (EN + zh-Hans), keeping
the WSL2-only dashboard PTY caveat. Historical RELEASE_v0.14.0.md notes are
left intact since they accurately describe the state at that release.

- README: Windows install + cross-platform notes
- index.mdx, installation.md: headings, warning admonitions, parity note
- windows-native.md: title/sidebar_label/warning, provider-hunting tip
- contributing.md, nous-portal.md: cross-platform / Portal parity prose
- Repoint cross-links to the renamed installation#windows-native-powershell
  anchor (EN) and #windows原生powershell (zh, also fixes pre-existing drift)

## Cross-Platform Compatibility
Hermes officially supports **Linux, macOS, WSL2, and native Windows (early beta — via PowerShell install)**. Native Windows uses Git Bash (from [Git for Windows](https://git-scm.com/download/win)) for shell commands. A few features require POSIX kernel primitives and are gated: the dashboard's embedded PTY terminal pane (`/chat` tab) is WSL2-only. The native-Windows path is new and moves fast — if you're doing Windows-heavy dev, expect to hit and fix rough edges.

# Windows (Native) Guide — Early Beta
:::warning Early BETA
Native Windows support is **early beta**. It installs, runs, and passes our Windows-footgun lint, but it hasn't been road-tested at the scale our Linux/macOS/WSL2 paths have. Expect rough edges — especially around subprocess handling, path quirks, and non-ASCII console output. Please [file issues](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues) with repro steps when you hit something. If you want a battle-tested setup today, use the [Linux/macOS installer under WSL2](./windows-wsl-quickstart.md) instead.

Hermes runs natively on Windows 10 and Windows 11 — no WSL, no Cygwin, no Docker. This page is the deep dive: what works natively, what's WSL-only, what the installer actually does, and the Windows-specific knobs you might need to touch.
If you just want to install, the one-liner on the [landing page](/) or [Installation page](../getting-started/installation#windows-native-powershell--early-beta) is all you need. Come back here when something surprises you.
