Fix #62196: Improved documentation for local Docker environment setup on Windows

[ianasriaz]

on Windows.

This PR addresses Trac ticket #62196 by updating the README.md to include necessary Windows-specific configuration and troubleshooting steps for the local Docker development environment. This includes guidance on:

• Setting Git to handle line endings correctly (core.autocrlf input).
• The recommended use of WSL 2 for better performance and file permissions.
• Ensuring the correct drives are enabled for file sharing in Docker Desktop.

This resolves issues encountered by developers attempting to set up the environment natively on a Windows host.
