Propose native Windows 11 support through a build-only MSVC lane and a new in-process, supervisor-free MXC compute driver, with host-side governed egress and an OpenShell to MXC policy-translation seam. Refs: NVIDIA#2050 Signed-off-by: Shailendra Singh <shailendras@nvidia.com>

Summary
Adds RFC 0013, which proposes running OpenShell natively on Windows 11 (x64 and ARM64) without a Linux VM, Docker Desktop, or WSL. The proposal introduces a new
openshell-driver-mxccompute driver built on Microsoft Execution Containers (MXC /wxc-exec) and relocates OpenShell's value layers (egress policy, L7 inspection, inference and privacy routing) to a host-side CONNECT proxy, avoiding any in-sandbox supervisor on Windows.Related Issue
