9b6454c Improve "Turn Windows Features On or Off" step (Ernest Hemingway)
Pull request description:
Originally, this readme suggests searching for 'turn' to open this dialog but this will not necessarily work on all windows 10 PCs. It's better to use the executable name instead, which is consistent across installations.

e91b96192 Create dependencies.md, and link dependencies file from README & build docs (flack)
Pull request description:
As @fanquake mentioned in #8639, this should probably be a file in `doc/`, so I went ahead and pulled the issue text via the github API and dumped it into a file. No modifications made, except one spelling fix. This makes the info easier to find, and it will get a proper version history, too.

- Clarify the Windows Subsystem For Linux section.
- Clarify the build requirements.

I did a build on a windows 10 laptop and took notes, and tried
to improve the document:
- It's the Linux subsystem for Windows, not the other way around.
- Split out dependencies: general ones, 64-bit, 32-bit. Remove the
reference to `build-unix.md`, easy enough to be self-contained.
- Place 64-bit instructions first. 99% will want these.
- Installation instructions: recommend using `/` for prefix, same as we
do on gitian builds. This will allow copying the files to a usable
(from Windows) place using just `make DESTDIR=...`.
- Remove double spaces / consistent width reformatting.

The new Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) allows a user to run a bash shell directly on Windows in an Ubuntu based environment. This can be used to cross-compile Bitcoin directly on Windows without the need for a separate Linux VM or Server. The instructions included in this commit explain how to configure the environment and build Bitcoin Core using this new feature.
