Update the wiki for ANTsX on windows for new wsl2 with gui support #350

I can confirm that gui support on new WSL2 works ok (in fact probably better than solution that involved mobaxterm or other free x11 servers). More detail is here: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/the-initial-preview-of-gui-app-support-is-now-available-for-the-windows-subsystem-for-linux-2/

This requires people to be on the development channel to get the latest update. I am not sure what the timeline is for it to be integrated to 'normal' windows 10. But It is there and works.

There is supposedly GPU support as well (https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/wsl-user-guide/index.html), but I don't have one of the gpus supported by this specific driver.

Thanks muratmaga, great news. Let's wait for it to pass the Windows Insider stages before we add to the Wiki. I don't go into those beta releases unless necessary, it has caused many headaches in the past.

Np. Understandable about the stability. I should comment the file system performance is less than stellar. But it works if you are desperate like me (entirely a windows shop environment). Would be great if Nvidia indeed shows a bit more interest and then hopefully all AntsrNet stuff would work too.
