Description of Change

Added the platform availability badge (_Linux_ _Windows_) to the
menuItem.registerAccelerator instance property documentation in
docs/api/menu-item.md.

This change aligns the instance property documentation with the
constructor options section, where registerAccelerator is already
documented as being available only on Linux and Windows.

The update resolves an inconsistency that could cause confusion about
whether menuItem.registerAccelerator is supported on macOS.

Fixes #53123
