Summary

Removes legacy Command Prompt (CMD) examples from the documentation, standardizing on PowerShell for Windows environments.

Details

PowerShell has been the default shell on Windows since Windows 10, and Gemini CLI internally defaults to PowerShell for shell command execution. Standardizing the documentation improves consistency and reduces confusion for Windows users.
