Add note about needing Developer Mode to Windows section #33

Closed charlespierce closed 5 years ago

While debugging an issue on Discord, we discovered that volta install <package> only works on Windows if developer mode is on (or if you are running an administrative prompt), because the Windows API to create a symlink requires one of those two situations.

We don't currently have a good solution to make it work without Developer Mode, so adding a note to the "Getting Started" page that lets the user know developer mode is required to get full functionality from Volta.

Also restructured some of the theme CSS and added a note.html snippet that can be used to insert a note into a page (similar to a warning but colored teal instead of yellow and titled "NOTE" instead of "WARNING").
