Document best practices for bringing up Sphinx on Windows

The Sphinx documentation tool that we now use to generate the users guide is unfortunately a bit tricky to get working on Windows. See, for instance, https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2015-October/010199.html

We need to improve this situation or at very least document how users can build documentation on Windows.
