Fixes: #61424

Situation

Dev Home instructions in the BUILDING > Windows > Option 2: Automated install with WinGet document section can no longer be used.

Dev Home states:

Starting May 2025, Dev Home will no longer be supported as a feature in Windows 11.

The source repo https://github.com/microsoft/devhome was archived in June 2025.

Attempting to follow the instructions fails because Dev Home has been deactivated and the follow-on app https://github.com/microsoft/windowsAdvancedSettings does not include any way to execute configuration files.

Change

Remove references to Dev Home from the BUILDING.md document.
