doc: Meson is not experimental on Windows
The installation documentation stated that using Meson is experimental. But since this is the only way to build using Visual Studio on Windows, this would imply that that whole build procedure is experimental, which isn't true. So qualify this statement a bit more. We keep the statement that Meson is experimental on other platforms, since it doesn't have full, confirmed feature parity with the make build system.
