New Installer: Explain what ASIO is #237

Description

@ann0see

The new installer is almost ready and linking to https://jamulus.io/wiki/Installation-for-Windows#setting-up-asio4all if no ASIO driver was found. We should explain ASIO on Windows for newbies. (Why they need it [only one sentence], and that ASIO4ALL is not recommended but probably needed. etc.)

Any proposals?
What I'd suggest:

  1. Explain that you need an ASIO driver since the inbuilt drivers don't allow low latency audio
  2. Tell the user that usually ASIO drivers are only provided for external sound cards (which we also recommend to use with Jamulus)
  3. Tell the user that he can use ASIO4ALL which is a generic ASIO driver and the setup is described here (save for later); it should also be possible to download the .md file since sometimes the web browser also conflicts with ASIO4ALL
