Merge #14973: doc: Improve Windows native build instructions
523785042b5fccda981d85a7ea85a8ce30fe1709 Modify build instructions to work with Command Prompt as well as PowerShell; other minor changes (Murray Nesbitt) Pull request description: The current instructions assume usage of `PowerShell`; running in a `Command Prompt` results in a syntax error. Proposed change works with both `Command Prompt` and `PowerShell`. Also a few other minor formatting changes.
