docs: add Linux cross-build instructions for Windows x86 NSIS installer

Browse Source 
Add Ubuntu-to-Windows build workflow using cargo-xwin for i686-pc-windows-msvc target. Update build-tunnel-helper.sh with host OS detection, target validation, and cargo-xwin support for Linux cross-compilation. Add tauri.windows.conf.json to configure NSIS-only bundle output and npm script for Linux-based Windows builds. Update client-platforms.md to document cross-compilation support and clarify that MSI packaging still requires Windows environment.
