Please support Windows

Problem

The new rust version of pls does not support Windows.

Description

I love pls! The old python version of pls supported Windows (mostly) and is my default ls program. However, the new rust version does not. It is also really useful for those of us who use both Windows and Linux (WSL) to have the same ls tool on both platforms. Please consider supporting Windows with the new rust implementation. Thank you!

@jnunderwood with Python it was easier to build for Windows because the source code was mostly unchanged except for some sys.platform checks. With Rust it is a bit difficult because Rust programs must be compiled individually for each of the systems.

I'm not opposed to the idea, it's only that I don't have much experience with Rust and I anticipate the finished product might not be up to the mark. I am happy to review and merge any PRs that add or improve Windows compatibility. Alternatively, if this ticket gets enough upvotes, I'll put in the time and implement it myself.
