On Windows, automatically make a symlink from `python3.exe` to `python.exe` when using the installer to install Python.

On Windows, have an option to automatically make a symlink from python3.exe to python.exe when using the installer to install Python. This way, people don’t need to manually create the symlink themselves by using the mklink command, and people who are accustomed to Linux and macOS where typing python often launches Python 2 instead of 3 won’t be confused when they type in python3 after using the installer and see the Microsoft Store open, instead of the freshly-installed copy of Python. (Microsoft makes python3 launch the Microsoft Store to install Python by default.)
