Fix docs and build script for desktop build (#34395)
* Fix some documentation for element-desktop Some of these links got broken, or outdated, during the monorepo switch. * Fix desktop docker build script It will fail with 'workspace_node_modules: no such file or directory' if the directory does not exist. This got broken by https://github.com/element-hq/element-web/pull/33641. * Clarify native modules doc Most of this stuff does not apply when using the docker build. * update snapshot

#### Cross compiling
|

Compiling a module for a particular operating system (Linux/macOS/Windows) needs

to be done on that operating system. Cross-compiling from a host OS for a different

#### Switching between architectures

The native module build system keeps the different architectures
