Update Windows development instructions

[garethbowen]

@TamorHaabmets reports:

I tried it out and i had some permission problems when running grunt. Error message was: tar EPERM: operation not permitted, futime These two commands helped me out (insert them in your linux home directory). sudo umount /mnt/c sudo mount -t drvfs C: /mnt/c -o metadata,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=22,fmask=111 More info: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56457844/tar-eperm-operation-not-permitted-futime

Investigate and update the instructions as needed.

@TamorHaabmets I'm not able to reproduce this locally, and so it's hard for me to verify the instructions.

I'm wondering if it's because of a specific version of something that you're using, or perhaps becuase of a way your Windows 10 is setup. Unfortunately I'm not that versed in Windows.

Could you provide me with:

• Your Windows version (hit Win key, type "about", hit enter, scroll down to see "Version" in "Windows Specifications"
• Your Ubuntu WSL version (hit Win key, type "Ubuntu", Windows should give you an option to see it's "App settings", version is in there)
• uname -a from inside the WSL image (ie from bash)
• cat /etc/fstab from inside the WSL image

Thanks!

@yrimal You just got our stack running on Windows + WSL. We discussed how your learnings with WSL could be useful to contribute into the documentation.

Here is an example issue which you might have encountered and have suggestions for.
