Conflicting and unclear instructions for installing with DaFlasher #487

The first step in the below set of DaFlasher instructions tell you to Copy micropython.zip (see Building wasp-os from source) to your Android device and download DaFlasher if you do not already have it.
See: https://wasp-os.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html#main-os-daflasher

The third step in the below set of DaFlasher instructions tell you to Copy bootloader-daflasher.zip (see [Building wasp-os from source](https://wasp-os.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html#building-wasp-os-from-source) above) to your Android device.
See: https://wasp-os.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html#bootloader-daflasher

They both link to the below section, but that section of the docs doesnt mention either zip file at all.
See: https://wasp-os.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html#building-wasp-os-from-source

So the docs give you two different names for, what I think is meant to be, the same file and that file isn't mentioned in the relevant section at all.

I'm trying to install wasp-os on a Colmi P8 from a Windows OS computer and I'm not having a lot of luck. Hopefully clarifying this issue will set me off in the right direction - I think the instructions are maybe telling me to make and then zip a binary and name the zip file something like, micropython.zip or bootloader-daflasher.zip. I hope not though. The pygobject is nearly impossible to install on windows using the native python package manager and I have no idea how to get around that.
