Wanted to enumerate Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10 progression to be clear, exclude S
mode, add Cygwin32 on ARM, specify 64 bit only AMD/Intel, and remove any dates
to avoid confusion in future, so patched to read:

"1.2. What versions of Windows are supported?

Cygwin can be expected to run on all modern, released versions of Windows, from
Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, Windows Server 2008 and all later versions of
Windows, except Windows S mode due to its limitations. The 32 bit version of
Cygwin also runs in the WOW64 32 bit environment on released 64 bit versions of
Windows including ARM PCs, the 64 bit version of course only on 64 bit AMD/Intel
compatible PCs."

but we are unsure how to get it regened and pushed onto the production web site.
