Description

This PR adds a Prerequisites section to the README.md listing the core tools required to build bdkpython locally: rustup, uv, just, and Visual Studio C++ Build Tools for Windows (MSVC target).

Fixes #47

Notes to the reviewers

While setting up the repo on Windows, I noticed the README didn't mention setup dependencies like rustup or MSVC build tools needed by cargo build. Adding this helps new contributors quickly verify their local environment before running the build scripts.

Changelog notice

  • Added installation prerequisites section to README.md

Thanks for taking a look and running our docs through the Windows lens!

I have two small ideas, but let me know if you think they don't make sense (particularly the 2nd one).
