clj-on-windows

Hey all, we have updated the https://clojure.org/guides/install_clojure#_windows_instructions instructions to recommend WSL + Linux install OR the https://github.com/casselc/clj-msi installer (which uses the deps.clj exe). I am further discussing with Chuck possibly moving clj-msi more into clojure org so we could sign it etc. You should consider the powershell version of clj to be deprecated and it will not be further updated. Eventually, I will remove it from the repo and the build, but it's going to keep publishing for the time being.

hopefully it's a good day to talk about Windows, maybe it's on my mind for some reason

Is this wiki page going to be updated to refer back to the official installation notes with a caveat about the PS installer going away? https://github.com/clojure/tools.deps.alpha/wiki/clj-on-Windows

(took me a while to find it since I looked on brew-install and then tools.deps... and then searched for clj on windows and it was still in my browser history!)

I can do that, mostly will just be cutting ties to it
