seed recover prints a notice before the passphrase question for wallets set up on Windows with version 1.0.5 or earlier: enter the passphrase without the characters outside ASCII (1.0.4 and 1.0.5), answer No when it was pasted with Ctrl+V into the classic console (nothing was stored), contact support for 1.0.3 and earlier; then move the funds to a wallet created with the current version. The notice links to a new section of the documentation (docs/cli.rst, anchor windows-passphrase) that carries the full rule and its exceptions, the same ones the changelog lists. seed upload is unchanged: the notice is tied to the new recovery parameter of get_bip39_passphrase.

Checked: flake8 and pylint as in CI, Sphinx build of the documentation.

Before the passphrase prompt, seed recover tells users whose wallet was
set up on Windows with version 1.0.5 or earlier how to enter the
passphrase: without the characters outside ASCII for 1.0.4 and 1.0.5,
without a passphrase when it was pasted with Ctrl+V into the classic
console, and through support for 1.0.3 and earlier. The documentation
gets the full rule with its exceptions, and the prompt links to it.
