docs(platform): Add WSL 2 recommendation for Docker on Windows (#9749)

Browse Source 
In this pull request, the following changes have been made in response
to Issue #9190:

Documentation Changes:

- Added a note to the AutoGPT documentation regarding Docker
installation on Windows.

- Specifically, the note advises users to opt for WSL2 (Windows
Subsystem for Linux version 2) instead of Hyper-V during Docker setup to
prevent issues with Supabase, such as the "unhealthy" status for
supabase-db.

### 📌 Windows Installation Note
When installing Docker on Windows, it is **highly recommended** to select **WSL 2** instead of Hyper-V. Using Hyper-V can cause compatibility issues with Supabase, leading to the `supabase-db` container being marked as **unhealthy**.
#### **Steps to enable WSL 2 for Docker:**
1. Install [WSL 2](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install).
2. Ensure that your Docker settings use WSL 2 as the default backend:
- Open **Docker Desktop**.
- Navigate to **Settings > General**.
- Check **Use the WSL 2 based engine**.
3. Restart **Docker Desktop**.
#### **Already Installed Docker with Hyper-V?**
If you initially installed Docker with Hyper-V, you **don’t need to reinstall** it. You can switch to WSL 2 by following these steps:
1. Open **Docker Desktop**.
2. Go to **Settings > General**.
3. Enable **Use the WSL 2 based engine**.
4. Restart Docker.
🚨 **Warning:** Enabling WSL 2 may **erase your existing containers and build history**. If you have important containers, consider backing them up before switching.
For more details, refer to [Docker's official documentation](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/windows/wsl/).
