win: clarify Boxstarter behavior on install tools
Clarify the behavior of what Boxstarter may do when it runs on a box to install all the necessary tools so that there are no surprises to the end user when the script is run. Currently there is no interface that warns the user that Boxstarter will reboot the machine possibly multiple times depending on how many dependencies need to be installed and doesn't mention a need to disable UAC. For folks who see what may look like a reboot loop, we feel it is necessary to make them aware that UAC will be disabled and they will need to take action to re-enable UAC manually if they interfere/stop the script from finishing.
