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.

The existing message from the shell script is already decent and I decided not to change it:
```
$ ./x
Python was not found but can be installed from the Microsoft Store: ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9NJ46SX7X90P
```
This is a more ambitious version of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98716.
It still changes the shebang back to python3, for compatibility with non-Unix systems,
but also adds alternative entrypoints for systems without `python3` installed.
These scripts will be necessary for the rust entrypoint (#94829), so I see
little downside in adding them early.
