[doc] use "Looking Glass Server" instead of "producer"

I think "server" and different "implementations" of it makes it a lot clearer
to readers that it's a swappable thing that can serve multiple clients without
being too much jargon.

Legacy Host compatibility
-------------------------
The Windows Host Application is no longer the recommended producer. B7 is the
last recommended version for users who require its non-capture mouse input
workflow. Use the complete matching B7 stack for that workflow rather than
mixing B7 and current components.
The Windows Host Application is no longer the recommended server implementation.
It is missing many of the features available in the Looking Glass IDD, such as:
* Lack of video capture overhead;
* Usage without a monitor or dummy plug connected;
* Automatically resizing the guest to fit the client application viewport;
* HDR support; or
* Usage in virtual machines without GPU acceleration.
