[DOC] Add a side note for the WSL2 dev setup

Issue Summary

This is not a bug. This is a documentation improvement suggestion.

Some contributors are facing issues when trying to get Prisma to connect to the database (as part of running the pnpm go) running in the Docker's container on WSL2. This happens if WSL2 has its own PostgreSQL service up and running.

To fix this, before running pnpm go, WSL2 contributors should make sure they stop the WSL2 Postgres service running: sudo systemctl stop postgresql

I suggest adding a side note for the WSL2 in the documentation around the pnpm go command: Contributing > Setup Dev Environment > Local Machine Setup.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Have a postgres service installed and running in WSL2
  2. Follow the steps on https://formbricks.com/docs/contributing/setup#local-machine-setup
  3. After running pnpm go you will receive the following error: Error: P1000: Authentication failed against database server at 'localhost', the provided database credentials for 'postgres' are not valid.
