Subject: [PATCH] Fix: Add treesitter option to use pre-compiled binaries

On Windows, when new users install kickstart it blows up by default
because having a C compiler in PATH is not a reaonle expectation on hat
platform.

Also, this should decrease first use startup time substantially on all
platforms because curl-ing down a binary is much faster than compiling
from scratch.

Also updated README as Windows folks are expected to turn on developer
mode so symlinks and 'curl' will work.
