Description

## Feature Request
Linkerd to support hybrid kubernetes environments (Windows/Linux)

### What problem are you trying to solve?
It would be great to be able to use Linkerd in hybrid cluster environments and have windows deployments as part of the mesh.

### How should the problem be solved?

It would be great if linkerd proxy worked in a windows env.

### Any alternatives you've considered?

I have not tried anything else at the moment.

### How would users interact with this feature?

I would image it would remain the same as the current experience. At least I do not expect a major change, maybe add a `windows` flag to the installer to specify the ENV.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by mapping the Linkerd proxy and installer components involved in Kubernetes Windows deployments; done would mean a Windows proxy works in a hybrid Windows/Linux cluster with the expected installation experience.
