16d82611812de4e91e7950fe6d31484cc7a9c937 doc: Drop no longer needed workaround for WSL (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
This PR effectively reverts commit 4f890ba6bc from https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11437, which fixed some build issues on WSL seven years ago.
Testing the current master branch @ 31a3ff55154bf15fb35b157c3f67ec05408ecdf9 on Windows 11 + WSL using Ubuntu 24.04 or Debian images, I noticed that the workaround is no longer required. Moreover, it doesn't affect the build process at all, which means the hashes of the built packages in depends remain the same and the `configure` log in the main build system remains the same as well.

These cleanups include:
- Removing a leftover protobuf reference
- Removing instructions on how to build for 32-bit Windows
- As backports assumed that there are only instructions for 64-bit
Windows persist, their diff only made one change instead of two.
But as the 32-bit instructions precede 64-bit, only they received
changes. The following were affected.
- Removal of tarball comment
- Addition of WSL-specific instructions
- Removing references to MSVC as we do not support it
- Adding instructions for setting the default compiler for mingw32 to
POSIX
- Adding instructions for escaping %PATH%s with spaces
- Adding instructions for cloning Dash Core into the mounted filesystem
if using WSL
- Adding reference to `dependencies.md`
- Adding suggestion to use `-j`
- Realigning some language with upstream
- Add git as a dependency
* update windows build instructions
* move cross compilation section
* remove 32bit. The additional info about 32bit is described in footnotes
* update doc formating and order

This should prevent people from running into the issues to later find that there is no solution yet.
