0bdf5b8c33 docs: Update Windows build guide with verified steps and error signposts (#1851)
Verified the guide end-to-end on a clean Windows 11 + VS2022 Community
17.14 machine (Release|x64 and Release|Win32 both build with 0 errors).
Fixes for the issues found along the way:

- Recommend a current NASM release instead of 2.08 (2010); NASM 2.16.03
  verified against all assembly sources. Fix the Path example for the
  64-bit installer location.
- Simplify YASM setup: the build only invokes yasm.exe from the Path.
  Drop the zip/vsyasm download and the YASMPATH system variable, which
  nothing in the build references.
- Add a "Common build errors" section to Known Issues mapping the three
  errors every default VS2022 install hits (MSB8040 Spectre libs, C1083
  atlbase.h, MSB8066 exit 9009) to the components that fix them.
- Explain why the Release|Win32 pass is needed (Setup/Portable/COMReg
  are only built by that configuration).

Addresses #1488.
