docs: Add details about binary names for setup on Windows

Browse source 
The tutorial for installing on windows didn't mention the exact name of the
hugo executable in windows which is generally hugo_<hugo-version>_windows_<arch>.exe.
The tutorial mentioned the windows executable's name as hugo.exe, which
can be confusing sometimes. So extra information has been added to
rename the executable to hugo.exe which would be easy to use.

Fixes #2656
