Documents: More verbose warning about using --depth 1 when cloning (#3732)

* More verbose warning about --depth 1 flag in git clone

Just spent an hour and a half learning what this does the hard way, hopefully this prevents at least a few others from facing the same issues.

* Adjust grammar

Also updated copyright year, because why not.

# Build shadPS4 for Windows
This tutorial reads as if you have none of the prerequisites already installed. If you do, just ignore the steps regarding installation.
If you are building to contribute to the project, please omit `--depth 1` from the git invocations.
> [!WARNING]
> If you are trying to compile older builds for testing, do not provide the `--depth 1` flag in `git clone`.
> This flag omits the commit history from your clone, saving storage space while preventing you from testing older commits.
Note: **ARM64 is not supported!** As of writing, it will not build nor run. The instructions with respect to ARM64 are for developers only.
