Feature: improve Windows tooling bootstrap and enable native semgrep via pipx #5

Description

@DriesVenter

Summary
Improve Windows contributor experience by enabling native semgrep install flow and improving installer behavior/documentation.

What this PR changes

  • Updates semgrep guidance to support native Windows via pipx
  • Adds helper flow for missing tool bootstrap on Windows
  • Updates scan guidance to include pipx bootstrap hints

Why

  • Current contributor flow on Windows is more complex than needed
  • Native semgrep via pipx is useful and reduces setup friction
    Notes
  • This is not a security remediation PR
  • No upstream RCE issue is being claimed here
  • CRLF findings were local checkout artifacts, not a repository-level line-ending defect
