…, /Label
The Windows VTOYCLI mode was built as a silent GUI web-server backend and
lacked the interactive and informational features of the Unix CLI. This commit
adds full feature parity:
- /HELP and /?: print usage to the console and exit 0
- /V: print the local Ventoy version (from ventoy\version) and exit 0
- /L: list Ventoy version, partition style, secure boot, filesystem, disk
size and bus type for the selected drive (read-only, no changes made)
- /SI: safe install — refuses if Ventoy is already present; prompts for
confirmation twice before writing (suppressed with /Y)
- /SB: explicitly enable secure boot support (mirrors Unix -s flag)
- /Y: auto-confirm prompts for scripted/silent use
- /Label:NAME: set the volume label for partition 1 (default: Ventoy);
propagated through all four DiskService backends
Console output: AttachConsole + _open_osfhandle so printf works from both
interactive cmd.exe sessions and PowerShell pipe capture (> file, $(...)).
WinDialog: /HELP, /?, /V and /L skip the boot-file presence check so they
work from any directory; other CLI write operations log the error instead
of showing a MessageBox.
DOC/Windows_CLI.txt: new user-facing documentation with examples and a
Unix-to-Windows flag mapping table.

Summary
Brings the Windows `Ventoy2Disk.exe VTOYCLI` mode up to feature parity with the existing Unix CLI installer (`Ventoy2Disk.sh`).
Before this change, `VTOYCLI` was only used silently by the Windows GUI as a web-server backend and lacked the interactive/informational flags that the Unix CLI already supports.
