Document that Git Authentication is not configurable on windows #11584

Description

What is the improvement or update you wish to see?

The docs explain how there are many options for configuring git auth. It's even listed on a troubleshooting page as a major solution for fetch/push issues. On Windows, the settings dialog does not contain a form for Git Authentication. It's simply missing.

Is there any context that might help us understand?

I tracked the issue down to an conditional block in the code. It's manually hidden on windows. Besides for updating the docs, there should be definitely be a comment in the code explaining why this is disabled.

{#if backend.platformName !== 'windows'}
<Spacer />
<KeysForm {projectId} showProjectName={false} />
{/if}

Also... why is it disabled? I couldn't find a single issue labeled "Implement git authentication on windows" or something similar. Is it tracked? Is it blocked by an upstream issue? My SSH key needs a password, and I can't figure out what's going on bc I can't debug anything!!

Does the docs page already exist? If so, please link to it.
