Installation flow notes (Windows, v1.1.0-alpha.5)

[raladev]

The pathway was thorny and dangerous.

Notes for discussion:

General:

• [ ] need to add sum for each binary on release page for sumcheck and add instruction how to build binary (to verify published sum).
• [ ] set min size of the xud-explorer window

Main screen:

• [ ] No Back button on Connect page, to return on main screen I need to restart the app.

Installation:

• [ ] it would be good to have Hello window when running v1.1.0-alpha.5 exe, that will describe what will be installed and where (with certain path) like all installers do, because I felt unwell when Ш got installation progress immediately after exe running.
• [ ] add progress string for docker download (good for slow internet);
• [ ] add progress bar for docker installation or maybe console output printing, like travis do it; installation screen says that it may take ~3 mins, my installation took ~10 mins.

Post-installation process:

• [ ] i did not notice Reboot later button at the end of the installation (maybe i just missed it). it would be good to have it.
• [ ] wsl screen: add link to instruction how to disable wsl (first link contains info only about wsl patch installation).
• [ ] wsl screen: after wsl installation, windows reboot is required (even if u rebooted the PC before (after docker installation)). Would be good to mention it before displaying Waiting for docker start screen. (I spent ~15 mins in attempts to run docker after installation).
• [ ] wsl screen: integrate wsl installation/disabling into docker installation process with minimum user actions.
