Subject: [PATCH] x.ps1: remove the check for Python from Windows Store

When installing Python from the Windows Store, a copy of `python.exe` is
installed inder the Microsoft directory in the user's local AppData
directory. Currently, `x.ps1` checks for this file, because by default
running `python.exe` opens a link to the Microsoft Store rather than
running Python.

Once the user installs Python, however, this contains a valid
interpreter. Unfortuantely, `x.ps1` can't tell the difference between a
legitimate Python install and the stub.

Remove the check, as it makes it impossible to use the official version
from Microsoft once it has been installed.
