Remove windows from CI

• Remove windows from CI build matrix
• Fix the documentation to list all dependencies

I've tried to remove ninja-build dependency but it doesn't integrate well with IDE.
The cmake ninja multi configuration generator solves a lot of problems like creating separate Debug and Release builds, integrates better with vscode plugin.
I've deleted the section for lib deflate because that is no longer required, vcpkg will automatically build so that user won't need to install it system wide.

I've tested in this docker container.

FROM ubuntu:latest


WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
RUN apt update && apt install cmake make -y
RUN apt install git ninja-build g++ curl zip unzip tar pkg-config -y
RUN apt install libisal-dev -y

RUN make

This makes it easier to test for arm64 locally.

docker build -t fastplong --platform linux/amd64 -f Dockerfile .
docker build -t fastplong --platform linux/arm64 -f Dockerfile .

thanks, but is ninja a must?

I understand you want to keep dependencies to a minimum.
I tried to remove ninja but it wasn't easy and caused some features like multiple build configuration which we would have to add back by writing our own CMake content.
I think if someone can install a c++ compiler they can easily install ninja. On Ubuntu its less than 1 MB.

okay, can you add a commit to copy builds/ninja-multi-vcpkg/Release/fastplong to the path of project ./, after build is completed? Since biological users may not know where to find the executable.

merge it first
