Identify Windows support with tags (#35027)

Browse Source 
All packages with explicit Windows support can be found with
`spack list --tags=windows`.

This also removes the documentation which explicitly lists
supported packages on Windows (which is currently out of date and
is now unnecessary with the added tags).

Note that if a package does not appear in this list, it *may*
still build on Windows, but it likely means that no explicit
attempt has been made to support it.

Windows Compatible Packages
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Many Spack packages are not currently compatible with Windows, due to Unix
dependencies or incompatible build tools like autoconf. Here are several
packages known to work on Windows:
* abseil-cpp
* bzip2
* clingo
* cpuinfo
* cmake
* hdf5
* glm
* nasm
* netlib-lapack (requires Intel Fortran)
* ninja
* openssl
* perl
* python
* ruby
* wrf
* zlib
Not all spack packages currently have Windows support. Some are inherently incompatible with the
platform, and others simply have yet to be ported. To view the current set of packages with Windows
support, the list command should be used via `spack list -t windows`. If there's a package you'd like
to install on Windows but is not in that list, feel free to reach out to request the port or contribute
the port yourself.
.. note::
This is by no means a comprehensive list
This is by no means a comprehensive list, some packages may have ports that were not tagged
while others may just work out of the box on Windows and have not been tagged as such.
