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.

Did you use Generative AI?

No

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.

My build just completed, but when I try to run the demo talker/listener, I get two errors.
Talker from demo_nodes_cpp: console_bridge.dll was not found.
Listener from demo_nodes_py: no RMW implementation installed.

This needs more investigation to see if the Jazzy instructions need further updating.
