Elaborate Windows & Mac support

Indicate experimental Windows support. Direct readers to the continuous
integration file for build instructions.

Ask for volunteers for the MacOSX support. Indicate the existing Apple
Framework support.

Fix broken links.

+### MacOSX
+
+Mac provides a nice *Accelerate* LAPACK interface in the Apple Framework. The
+build system is capable of [automatically detecting the framework as build
+depdendency](https://mesonbuild.com/Dependencies.html#appleframeworks), so the
+library should be able to compile and run PSF simulation natively.

+The project is looking for volunteers and incoming PRs to enable Mac support.
