Documentation/acpi: add Windows-specific documentation

When using the Windows fast startup mechanism which is enabled by
default, Windows will use a cached version of the ACPI tables during
normal boots after a clean shutdown. Since I've run into this issue and
spent quite a bit of time debugging the wrong issue due to this, better
document this possibly unexpected behavior.
