Description
Backports build instructions from source for Windows. Rolling instructions use
pixi
, which this commit backports.One note is that there is a slight change from the backported docs; the cleanup code was previously incorrect, so I've modified that. Instead of ros2_${DISTRO}, it should just be ${DISTRO}. I'll submit a PR for this in rolling as well.
Fixes #5397.

Additional Information
Creating as draft as I'm currently compiling ROS 2 on a clean Windows VM according to these instructions. Once it completes successfully, I'll mark PR as ready.
