Starting from Windows 10 2004 (May 2020 Update), WSL 2 is the default
version of WSL. The instructions for installing WSL 2 are now the same
for both Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Adapted the instructions as such, to have a common installation process.

This will:

  • make the setup easier for remaining Windows 10 users,
  • reduce the number of cases where Windows 11 users started following
    the Windows 10 instructions by mistake,
  • make it easier to maintain the instructions in the future,
  • make it easy to remove the Windows 10 instructions later.

For this we now run wsl --install in the Windows Command Prompt (cmd)
instead of Windows Terminal (wt, for Windows 11) or PowerShell (for
Windows 10).

For troubleshooting reasons, the instructions for Windows 10 < 2004 are
kept in details, just in case.

Adapted EN, FR, ES, PT in Web. EN and ES in DS.

This mirrors lewagon/setup#483 in the Web setup.
