Adds a README section aimed at a non-developer (e.g., a DBA auditing a
SQL Server certificate) covering: installing Git for Windows, installing
the .NET SDK plus the .NET Framework 4.8 Developer Pack, cloning or
downloading the source, building via the new build.cmd, and running an
elevated capture/summarize pass.

build.cmd wraps 'dotnet build CertAuditor.sln --configuration Release'
with friendlier error output and points to the built executable.
