[issue40289] "highlighting" how to get Python's Scripts directory in the documentation

New submission from thautwarm <yaoxiansamma at gmail.com>:

Currently it's barely impossible for us to search about "How to get where Scripts directory/folder is".

If we google this, we can only get answers about '__file__', which is far from the expectation.

The correct information lies on
- https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Doc/install/index.rst
- https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/sysconfig.py

It's also not the first time I want to google this but this is the first time I got the answer, by dipping into the source code and searching in the codebase.

I'd hope we can directly mention the phrase "Python Scripts directory" in the documentation of 'sysconfig' module.
