Python 3.13.1 installer creates thousands of "useless" entries in registry

Yes, my plan is to drop use of Windows Installer entirely (which is what creates the registry entries, so that it can track which files have been installed for the purposes of update/repair/etc.).

See the proposal in PEP 773 – A Python Installation Manager for Windows | peps.python.org and the associated discussion in PEP 773: A Python Installation Manager for Windows.
