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.

Somewhat prompted by #9130, this attempts to make the installation instructions more natural to follow.

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.
