Easier onboarding and environment setup #4

Description

Lately there has been a realization that lots of new users are learning Rust specifically so that they can write games in Bevy. This demographic fact should be reflected in our tutorial content: we need to double down on the amount of hand-holding we do, particularly in the environment setup portion of the tutorial.

The old tutorial has some platform-specific advice that is absent from the new tutorial:

https://bevy.org/learn/quick-start/getting-started/setup/

However, even this material is rather thin, and a bit confusing. For example, should new users try to develop under WSL or not? Why does it advise installing MSVC and CMake? What do those things have to do with Rust?

Perhaps we need a "What you'll need" section?
