This is a follow-up for cc7d5b7bab

The original issue https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3781 contains
up-to-date information on how to run VictoriaMetrics components as Windows service,
plus it may contain additional information about this case such as https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3781#issuecomment-1708092680 ,
so it is better to refer this issue from the docs.
