Expand the documentation on Windows Store Python to explain folder redirects and registry security

This PR documents the following:

  • What folder redirection exists
  • What registry behaviors exist
  • What workarounds there are

The existing docs suggest installing the "full-package" from python.org as a workaround, which is fine for end-users but package maintainers are trying to diagnose bug reports caused by the Windows Store package and there isn't a resource documenting what these are.

Please backport to 3.7-3.11

Looks good to me, but given that we don't control any of this, I'd like to include a reference to the Microsoft docs and a note saying that the most up to date information is available there.

That page is currently https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/msix/desktop/desktop-to-uwp-behind-the-scenes and hopefully when they move it again there'll be a redirect.

That link is already in the section, just below https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/95030/files#diff-10646dae07701f50c80fe6fa218f1b6a8865144a71fb7f8160ad3fb328a59d0aR389
