[docs] [issue35156] Consider revising documentation on Python Builds from source

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower <steve.dower at python.org> added the comment:

Most people building Python from the devguide are doing it for contributions, so I'd be very hesitant to change the default recommendations. But we should highlight how to make a working installable build (including the extra dependencies) and the common options on our scripts, as well as their -h options.

I also have a "layout" script coming that will make it easier for people to produce their own custom installers by at least copying the files into the right place.

----------
stage:  -> needs patch
versions: +Python 3.7, Python 3.8
