Starting from bson v4.6.0, the C extension is bundled directly into the gem, which requires a C compiler for installation. This causes installation failures on Windows environments by default. This commit updates the README to include instructions for Windows users to install the MSYS2 development toolchain via `ridk install` and run the gem installation using `ridk exec` to ensure native extensions build successfully.
