I should have done this a few days ago so it could land in time for Code & Learn, but oh well. Here are some revisions to BUILDING.md to try to make it easier to read.

I’d just skip the “such as stdio redirection” bit entirely unless we can actually explain how to redirect stdio.

We do, sort of, in https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/f1fed7cb9c770e7841a3914da098e047665b2d53/BUILDING.md#fn3. Please restore.

@refack It’s absolutely not obvious how WSL and running in terminal emulators are related. When adding back this piece, please suggest wording that actually explains this or links back to the footnote you linked here.

The (such as stdio redirection)
bit is the most significant workaround, as in if it's done the Windows Binary works 99% of the time. IMHO it should stay.

Since removing it was an optional nit in the first place, I'll restore it.
