    devel-docs: add a point about publishing to the Microsoft Store.
    
    See issue #1307.
    There doesn't seem to be anything blocking us to publish to the
    Microsoft Store, now that there is this new "traditional desktop
    application" process allowing us to publish using our existing
    installer. So GIMP 2.10.32 should normally be our first published
    version there.
