Stephen Kirby a3248f9364 chore(docs): move feature stage docs to install directory (#17199)
I think the feature stages page should be co-located with releases and
not at the entrance of the docs.

# Installing Coder
A single CLI (`coder`) is used for both the Coder server and the client.
We support two release channels: mainline and stable - read the
[Releases](./releases/index.md) page to learn more about which best suits your team.
There are several ways to install Coder. Follow the steps on this page for a
minimal installation of Coder, or for a step-by-step guide on how to install and
configure your first Coder deployment, follow the
[quickstart guide](../tutorials/quickstart.md).
For production deployments with 50+ users, we recommend
[installing on Kubernetes](./kubernetes.md). Otherwise, you can install Coder on
your local machine or on a VM:
<div class="tabs">
## Linux/macOS
Our install script is the fastest way to install Coder on Linux/macOS:
```sh
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh
```
Refer to [GitHub releases](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases) for
alternate installation methods (e.g. standalone binaries, system packages).
## Windows
> [!IMPORTANT]
> If you plan to use the built-in PostgreSQL database, you will
> need to ensure that the
> [Visual C++ Runtime](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist#latest-microsoft-visual-c-redistributable-version)
> is installed.
Use [GitHub releases](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases) to download the
Windows installer (`.msi`) or standalone binary (`.exe`).

Alternatively, you can use the
[`winget`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/winget/#use-winget)
package manager to install Coder:
```powershell
winget install Coder.Coder
```
