Clarify that reconfig action is not supported on Windows

Description

I don't know how to approach this better, but the bottom line is that reconfig on Windows won't work due to absence of signals support and there needs to be some documentation or maybe some code to clarify this.

Yeah. The 'buildbot debugclient' tool can be used to trigger a reconfig, but not signals, unless someone knows how to make signals work on windows..

Which section of the documentation did you look at when trying to figure this out? I'm not sure where the note ought to go.

The above patch simply prints out a message and doesn't even try to reconfig on Windows. Not sure if this is actually wanted, feel free to reject.

(I know this ticket is technically about docs, but I didn't think it was necessary to file a new one about this.)
