[docs] refactor: full rewrite, generalization + dedup (#488)
"docs but awesome" Combines most of the stuff that was repeated thrice over verbatim into a single common Build Instructions page, with additional caveats marked elsewhere. Prettifies some stuff too because why not. cc: @Lizzie @DraVee @MaranBr @SDK-Chan Co-authored-by: Caio Oliveira <caiooliveirafarias0@gmail.com> Reviewed-on: https://git.eden-emu.dev/eden-emu/eden/pulls/488 Reviewed-by: Lizzie <lizzie@eden-emu.dev> Reviewed-by: MaranBr <maranbr@eden-emu.dev>

+# Windows Build Scripts
+
+* A convenience script for building is provided in `.ci/windows/build.sh`.
+* You must run this with Bash, e.g. Git Bash or the MinGW TTY.
+* To use this script, you must have `windeployqt` installed (usually bundled with Qt) and set the `WINDEPLOYQT` environment variable to its canonical Bash location:
+ * `WINDEPLOYQT="/c/Qt/6.9.1/msvc2022_64/bin/windeployqt6.exe" .ci/windows/build.sh`.
+* You can use `aqtinstall`, more info on <https://github.com/miurahr/aqtinstall> and <https://ddalcino.github.io/aqt-list-server/>
+
+
+* Extra CMake flags should be placed in the arguments of the script.
+
+#### Additional environment variables can be used to control building:
+
+* `BUILD_TYPE` (default `Release`): Sets the build type to use.
+
+* The following environment variables are boolean flags. Set to `true` to enable or `false` to disable:
+
+ * `DEVEL` (default FALSE): Disable Qt update checker
+ * `USE_WEBENGINE` (default FALSE): Enable Qt WebEngine
+ * `USE_MULTIMEDIA` (default FALSE): Enable Qt Multimedia
+ * `BUNDLE_QT` (default FALSE): Use bundled Qt
+
+ * Note that using **system Qt** requires you to include the Qt CMake directory in `CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH`
+ * `.ci/windows/build.sh -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=C:/Qt/6.9.0/msvc2022_64/lib/cmake/Qt6`
+
+* After building, a zip can be packaged via `.ci/windows/package.sh`. You must have 7-zip installed and in your PATH.
+ * The resulting zip will be placed into `artifacts` in the source directory.
