Rewrite the landing page and shrink the duplicated wsl/ install guide - #135

README.md (also served as docs/book/index.md via symlink - it's the MkDocs "Home" page and the GitHub-facing repo README at once) was stale v1-era content: it duplicated the System Requirements page, had a "WLS2" typo, and linked to wsl/README.md via a path that resolves correctly on GitHub but not inside the built MkDocs site (the two contexts have different relative-path bases, since docs_dir is docs/book). Replaced it with a short landing page: a "what you get" stack overview with a rough setup-time estimate, an explanation of the v1 (AlmaLinux 9) vs v2 (AlmaLinux 10) split, and getting-started links. Because this file is rendered from two different physical locations, its links to the versioned docs use absolute docs.dotkernel.org URLs rather than relative paths, which is the only form that resolves correctly in both contexts. wsl/README.md duplicated the full install walkthrough and had drifted (stale AlmaLinux-9 sample in its distro list, a stray period in the username example, passwd message wording that disagreed with the versioned docs). Shrunk it to a short pointer at the folder's purpose plus a link to the live installation page, so there's one source of truth (docs/book/v2/setup/installation.md) instead of two drifting copies.
