Somewhat prompted by #9130, this attempts to make the installation instructions more natural to follow.
An additional section is added to instruct the user to self-check whether pip is installed before proceeding.
The Linux package manager section is moved to the front to encourage users to try that first before learning about get-pip.py, which tends to provide seemingly working but subtly broken results there. A paragraph
is added to the section to instruct users to report issues to package managers instead.
A new section on enturepip is added as an alternative to get-pip.py, which is almost guarenteed to be available at this point and should be preferred as a bootstrap method.
