devel-docs: add a point about publishing to the Microsoft Store.

See issue #1307.
There doesn't seem to be anything blocking us to publish to the
Microsoft Store, now that there is this new "traditional desktop
application" process allowing us to publish using our existing
installer. So GIMP 2.10.32 should normally be our first published
version there.
