README: update minimum windows version and clarify

The README says Windows 7 and up, but the reality is that Windows
development is not done with 7 in mind and there are several known
issues that nobody is going to fix. Change this to 10 to reflect
reality. Also add a small paragraph explaining that we don't
intentionally break old systems, but don't expect them to always work.
Also change OSX to macOS.

output methods can help (such as `--vo=xv` on Linux), but this use is not
recommended or supported.
mpv does not go out of its way to break on older hardware or old, unsupported
operating systems, but development is not done with them in mind. Keeping
compatibility with such setups is not guaranteed. If things work, consider it
a happy accident.
