c03701f0de docs: Rewrite KDCOM debugging to use convey bridge
Replace the QEMU debugger VM approach with a simpler setup that runs
WinDbg directly on a Windows host. Cloud Hypervisor exposes the guest
serial port on a UNIX socket, socat turns it into a TCP listener, and
the convey tool bridges the TCP endpoint to a named pipe that WinDbg
attaches to.

This drops the need for a second Windows VM and the socat SYSTEM shell
script wrapping.

1f487fbc18 docs: split Windows serial debugging into its own file
The Windows serial (COM/KDCOM) kernel debugging instructions lived in a
long subsection of the Windows support document. Move them verbatim
into a dedicated docs/windows-kdcom-debugging.md and leave a short
pointer in windows.md, so the debugging methods can be documented and
extended independently.

Drop the useless disclaimer. Things should work the same across
different Windows versions.
