Which Windows versions are supported? #308

I'm sorry if it's the wrong place to ask to add to README or Wiki the supported Windows versions list.

Haven't found the docs on questions like is it supposed to work on 7 or Xp or Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2016?

Does ZFSin use something Win10-specific so that its use is limited to Win10?

Would be great to have it in README or Wiki

ZFSin + w7 didn't work in #203 (@limmelimm on Jan 26, 2020). But the combo in #278 seems to be working already (@lundman on Jul 4, 2020).

ZFSin + WS 2016 seems to be working in #28.

ZFSin + XP (or WS 2003) is definitelly not supported yet because the driver is 64-bit only currently. And then these OSes require very old DDK/WDK and older compiler + SDK. Plus elimination of some newer Kernel-mode API functions. See #31 for the follow-up.
