[docs] Install from source

From an internal discussion, it may make more sense to split off compilation instructions into it's own section because it's pretty much the same on Linux/Windows, and so we can add more details. Feel free to discuss and suggest what we can add, and we can iterate on this PR! 🙂

Some info we can add regarding validated compilers.

The v0.43.0 release is known to build on:

Windows: MSVC 19.38+ (VS2022 17.8.0+) with CUDA 11.7-12.4 Linux: GCC 11.4 (with CUDA 11.7-12.3), 13.2 (with CUDA 12.4+)

Other notes:

• Linux: Expected CUDA Toolkit compatibility is currently with 11.1+.
• Linux: GCC >= 7.3 recommended. GCC >= 6 is required.
• Linux: CUDA Toolkit >= 11.4.1 is required when building with GCC >= 11.
• Linux: CUDA Toolkit >= 12.0 is required when building with GCC >= 12.
• Linux: CUDA Toolkit >= 12.4 is required when building with GCC >= 13.
• Windows: CUDA Toolkit >= 11.6 is required when building with MSVC 19.30+ (VS2022).

Thanks, I've added that info as a table in the installation

Great, thank you all, this is looking very good. I'm happy that we have more details here now, I think this is important, so that we properly cover the edge-cases.
