Additional Windows notes have been added #45

WinPcap is not working with Win10 properly, I've added a note about Npcap. Development libs from old WinPcap is still working though, so I've updated the links and the procedure to point out the correct libs.

Additional notes: Npcap has its own SDK that is compatible with WinPcap, but the released version has a bug with the redefinition of vnsprinf, I hope they'll eventually update the SDK and the bug vanishes. Also Win10 sniffing has some performance issues, I guess it's because of blocking calls to pcap_next_ex, but non-blocking calls (with timeout specified) are not working. I'm going to fix it (please note that this involves pyx and C changes).
