Add 1903 requirement (#3321)
Have not seen this requirement mentioned anywhere until PowerToys is already installed.
For those installing PowerToys specifically to try this, it would be useful to know the requirement in advance, especially given that https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/master/README.md mentions only 1803.
