README: manual-download table omits Windows binaries #31

Description

@chirag127

The 'Download Binary Manually' section of the README lists macOS and Linux binaries but not Windows, even though the v0.9.0 release ships both gocode_0.9.0_windows_amd64.zip and gocode_0.9.0_windows_arm64.zip.

Current table (README.md, Installation → Download Binary Manually):

Platform File
macOS (Apple Silicon) gocode_*_darwin_arm64.tar.gz
macOS (Intel) gocode_*_darwin_amd64.tar.gz
Linux (x86_64) gocode_*_linux_amd64.tar.gz
Linux (ARM64) gocode_*_linux_arm64.tar.gz

Suggested additions:

| Windows (x86_64) | gocode_*_windows_amd64.zip |
| Windows (ARM64) | gocode_*_windows_arm64.zip |

Also worth noting for Windows users doing manual install (not via install.ps1): the extracted binary is gocode.exe, and the PowerShell installer drops it into $env:LOCALAPPDATA\Microsoft\WindowsApps for PATH inclusion. A one-liner under the table ("Windows: extract the zip and place gocode.exe somewhere on PATH, e.g. $env:LOCALAPPDATA\Microsoft\WindowsApps") would save people a step.

Impact: low-effort README fix; unblocks Windows users who prefer manual install over piping remote scripts to iex.
