Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#34570: doc: update Windows MSVC build guide to utilize winget to install build requirements

d159b103987f672ec4fbb6ba79ba9db45c24c977 doc: update Windows MSVC build guide to utilize WinGet to install apps (janb84)

Pull request description:

  This PR updates the Windows MSVC build guide to bring it more in line with the macOS and Unix build guides.

  Currently the guide listed requirements but left users to manually do the download/installation. The macOS and the Unix guide utilize package managers to provide concrete installation commands that users can follow. By introducing  `winget`, the Windows MSVC build guide now also provides concrete installation commands.

  The changes/commands can be tested on any windows machine, provided it run a  Windows 10 (version 1809 (build 17763)) or later (e.g. Windows 11 / Server 2025).

 ## Preparation
 
-### 1. Visual Studio
+### 1. Install Required Dependencies
+
+The first step is to install the required build applications. The instructions below use WinGet to install the applications.
+
+WinGet is available on all supported Windows versions. The applications mentioned can also be installed manually.
+
+#### Visual Studio
 
 This guide relies on using CMake and vcpkg package manager provided with the Visual Studio installation.
-Here are requirements for the Visual Studio installation:
-1. Minimum required version: Visual Studio 2026 version 18.3.
-2. Installed components:
-- The "Desktop development with C++" workload.
 
-The commands in this guide should be executed in "Developer PowerShell for VS" or "Developer Command Prompt for VS".
+Minimum required version: Visual Studio 2026 version 18.3 with the "Desktop development with C++" workload.
+
+To install Visual Studio Community Edition with the necessary components, run:
+
+```powershell
+winget install --id Microsoft.VisualStudio.Community --override "--wait --quiet --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NativeDesktop --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Git --includeRecommended"
+```
+
+This installs:
+- Visual Studio
+- The "Desktop development with C++" workload (NativeDesktop)
+- Git component
+
+After installation, the commands in this guide should be executed in "Developer PowerShell for VS" or "Developer Command Prompt for VS".
 The former is assumed hereinafter.
 
-### 2. Git
+#### Python
 
-Download and install [Git for Windows](https://git-scm.com/downloads/win). Once installed, Git is available from PowerShell or the Command Prompt.
+Python is required for running the test suite.

 One can skip vcpkg manifest default features to speed up the configuration step.
 For example, the following invocation will skip all features except for "wallet" and "tests" and their dependencies:
-```
