.net tool: clarify install instructions (#1126)
Because we use dotnet publish (which requires a specific framework) to create the payload of our .NET tool package, the package is tied to the framework specified. This means that it will only work with the corresponding .NET SDK for that framework. In light of this, update the .NET tool install instructions to specify that users must download the latest .NET 6.0 SDK as a prerequisite for installing the package, since that is the framework for which we currently publish. This will also need to be updated whenever we upgrade to a new Target Framework. Additionally, remove Windows as a supported .NET tool platform. Since we currently target .NET Framework rather than .NET, the package cannot actually be installed on Windows.
