help: document color/pager pitfalls on Windows Even though I figured this out a few weeks ago, I was initially puzzled where the color went when I upgraded to 4.2 on a different Windows machine. Let's point users reading the help into the right direction. I wonder if we should be even more explicit about cmd.exe/MSYS/pager/color interplay, but at least all of the breadcrumbs are here (I think).

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
