DOS/Windows 3.1x image creation guide

[chschnell]

Adresses issue #1568.

Adds documentation about creating Windows 3.1 / Windows for Workgroups 3.11 disk images.

It is assumed that the reader knows how to create an empty, FAT-formatted floppy or hard disk image, and how to copy a file into that image with external tools. In case this should also be documented it may be best to create a separate doc about handling FAT-formatted images since this will also come in other places, like the Windows 95 documentation.

Looks good to me, want to get any more changes in or shall I merge?

Let's give this another week or so.

I just added docs/dos.md which covers MS-DOS, FreeDOS and FAT-formatted image handling.

I'm not quite there yet, but I think at the end we can remove docs/cpu-idling.md.

Unless it already exists, it would be great to have a bootable "rescue" DOS floppy disk with FDISK and FORMAT preinstalled, downloadable from the copy.sh website. Please see docs/dos.md chapter 3 for context.

These docs aim to use v86 only (without external tooling like qemu).

Feedback is always welcome!

Agreed, and it would be good to have an option in the UI to add it to a custom profile.

That's extremely cool, and the logic next step is to automate the creation DOS/Windows disk images using v86's api.

+1, I have some ideas for windows-9x.md and I can add this to them if you don't mind.
