Subject: [PATCH] Windows components: hide Vulkan RT and the IE8 update; honest
 captions for the waiting section (#502)

* Windows components: hide Vulkan RT, whose loader every Proton here ships

vulkan-1.dll is in lib/wine/x86_64-windows and i386-windows of Proton Experimental (ARM64),
GE-Proton and proton-cachyos alike, so the catalog's VulkanRT entry would only shadow it. It
joins the list the page leaves out.

* Windows components: the waiting section says what is really missing (a recording), not 'coming next'

* Windows components: leave out the IE8 security update, which patches a browser no prefix has

* Windows components: the waiting caption without an apostrophe the resource compiler rejects
