From discussion in rust-windowing/winit#4018 (comment). Happy to take suggestions on the wording.

Related to #49.

I read these two Wikipedia articles and I am not sure if the explanation makes things clearer or more confusing.

Since the text already mentions the "Windows Logo" I think it is sufficiently clear to general audience which key is meant. I will however admit that a some Linux fans ignore the existence of Microsoft and may prefer to call the same key "Super", like the key from the MIT Lisp machine in the same position.

Yeah, I'm not too happy about the wording either. @ArturKovacs WDYT?

I think that this PR improves the usability of the documentation because it's now easier to search for someone coming from Linux.

Tried to change the wording a bit, to make it clearer that it is not necessarily the "Super" key itself, but moreso XKB terminology.
