Documentation: Add a method for 7zip and other archive tools

Some archive tools can open ext2 images like an archive, which is very
convenient for people that already have such tools like 7zip.

This also contains information for WSL users on where to find the
_disk_image in Explorer.

## Method 3: Archiving tool with ext2 support
Some archiving tools, like [7-Zip](https://www.7-zip.org/), are capable of directly opening ext2 images like Serenity's `_disk_image`. With these, you can open the disk image like any other archive and extract the files you need.
For WSL users: If you have the image on your native WSL drive (recommended), this drive can be opened in Explorer by manually opening `\\wsl$` (not visible in the Network tab!) and then the "network share" corresponding to your distro.
