Add Windows Python 3.9 environment support (monsta_venv)

[Copilot]

Fixes #5

Summarize your change.

Windows client components (rqd, cuegui, cuesubmit) require Python 3.9.x due to PySide2 binary wheel availability and native dependency compatibility. This adds a monsta_venv directory with setup automation and updates documentation to make the requirement clear.

Added monsta_venv/:

• setup_windows_venv.ps1 - Automated setup: detects Python 3.9, creates venv, installs deps + OpenCue packages from source
• activate.ps1 / activate.bat - Environment activation for PowerShell/CMD
• requirements.txt - Pinned dependencies (grpcio, PySide2==5.15.2.1, psutil, etc.)
• README.md - Setup instructions, troubleshooting, directory structure

Updated docs/_docs/quick-starts/quick-start-windows.md:

• Changed Python requirement from 3.6+ to 3.9 (required)
• Added callout explaining why 3.9 is needed
• Added monsta_venv as recommended setup option
• Added Python 3.9 and PySide2 troubleshooting

Original prompt

Issue: Windows client components require Python 3.9 environment (#5). The monsta_venv directory contains files that satisfy this requirement for Windows clients.

Goal: Create a pull request that adds the monsta_venv directory to the repository and updates relevant documentation so Windows users have a clear, supported path to run client components (rqd, cuegui) with Python 3.9.

What to change:

• Add the monsta_venv directory (contents provided in files/monsta_venv) to the repository root so Windows client machines can use the packaged environment or follow the included setup steps.
• Add or update documentation (README.md or docs/Windows.md) to clearly state that the Windows client components require Python 3.9, explain how to use the monsta_venv bundle, and include steps to activate/use it and troubleshooting notes.
• If there are any Windows-specific startup/installation scripts in monsta_venv, ensure they are executable and referenced from the documentation.
• Reference and close issue Windows client components require Python 3.9 environment #5 in the PR description.

Acceptance criteria:

• A new branch and pull request are created that add monsta_venv and documentation updates.
• The PR description references and closes issue Windows client components require Python 3.9 environment #5.
• Files added match the contents from files/monsta_venv provided by the user.
