Worth updating the README.md to mention that this is not cross-platform #197

Description

@Pomax

Node and NPM are cross-platform, so if it's on npm, folks expect things to work regardless of whether they're (forced to) work with Windows or Linux/BSD (including macos). Since this project is heavily dependent on shell scripting and standard unix tools, Windows users are SoL, and it would be nice if the README.md could be updated to make it clear that this won't work on Window, even if it works in WSL, which is not Windows but just another way to virtualize/emulate a different OS.

(although in this case it also doesn't work in WSL using Node 20, citing /home/yourusername/.npm/_npx/61069fd06d154ce3/node_modules/@fathyb/carbonyl-linux-amd64/build/carbonyl: error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
