doc: Add cmake help option in Windows build instructions
Used to display available configuration options, for consistency with recent changes in Unix build docs
Co-authored-by: stickies-v <stickies-v@users.noreply.github.com>
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only updates two Windows build instruction documents to mention a standard CMake help command. It does not change any program code, build scripts, or configuration logic, and has no security relevance.
No action required; this is a benign documentation update.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff adds a single line to doc/build-windows-msvc.md and doc/build-windows.md telling users they can run cmake -B build -LH to list available CMake options. This is a documentation-only change for consistency with Unix build docs. No source code, build system behavior, or security boundary is modified.
