Deprecate Linux containers on Windows (LCOW) (experimental)

The experimental feature to run Linux containers on Windows (LCOW) was introduced
as a technical preview in Docker 17.09. While many enhancements were made after
its introduction, the feature never reached completeness, and development has
now stopped in favor of running docker natively on Linux in WSL2.

Developers that need to run Linux workloads on a Windows host are encouraged
to use Docker Desktop with WSL2 instead.
