Show instructions for WiFi workflow for Windows #370

I use CircuitPython from a windows machine. When trying to test the WiFi workflow all the documentation and the help in the workflow dialogs asks to connect to circuitpython.local. That only works on a Mac.

To find the IP address using an Adafruit ESP32-S3 Feather, I was able to do this:

  • Connect to the device with the serial port
  • Wait for things to get going ?
  • Find the IP address from the code.circuitpython.org/ UI

Then, navigate to:
http://192.168.86.35:80/code/

I'm not sure what a better workflow for Windows users might be, but maybe to prompt to connect to the serial console so the Web UI can get the IP address from the REPL prompt(?) and then display that URL to connect to.
