docs,Windows: update installation docs

In this change:
- Reword text in windows.md to use active voice
  instead of passive voice (so it's clear who the
  actor is).
- Update Bash script examples to use cmd.exe
  syntax.
- Remove outdated information, such as Bazel being
  an msys2 binary.
- Restructure list of requirements to be clearer
  and simpler.

+    We provide binary versions on our [GitHub releases
+    page](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases).
 
-You can install the unofficial package using the
-[chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org) package manager:
+    The installer contains only the Bazel binary. You'll need additional
+    software (e.g. msys2 shell) and some setup in your environment to run Bazel.
+    You can find these on the [Windows requirements page](windows.html).
 
-```sh
-choco install bazel
-```

+    ```sh
+    choco install bazel
+    ```
 
+    This command will install the latest available version of Bazel and most of
