DevDocs: Add prerequisites to enable long paths in Windows (#41329)
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)? --> ## Summary of the Pull Request Added the "long paths" to the prerequisites in the DevDocs <!-- Please review the items on the PR checklist before submitting--> ## PR Checklist - [ ] **Communication:** I've discussed this with core contributors already. If the work hasn't been agreed, this work might be rejected - [x] **Dev docs:** Added/updated <!-- Provide a more detailed description of the PR, other things fixed, or any additional comments/features here --> ## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments While setting up the PowerToys solution, I ran into repeated issues where files or SDKs could not be found when loading the solution. After a full evening of debugging, the root cause turned out to be Windows’ default path length limitation. Even with a repository path like C:/Users/Micha/Development/PowerToys (which is not unusually long by itself), the combination of folder structure and file names exceeded the maximum allowed path length and caused the build problems. --------- Co-authored-by: Niels Laute <niels.laute@live.nl>
