manual: Add note on windows to use a git setting to avoid symlink issues in building

Browse source 
Ref #14787

This really doesn't really fixes the problem of the symlink, but it
solves the progress of getting windows working.

TODO: find out if it's a bug from meason & make a feature request to
avoid symlinks or generate symlinks upon build and git ignore, but still
goes back to the issue of is this a bug or do we need to make a feature
requests.
