[issue41968] 3.9 IDLE documentation.

I am not touching the issue nosy and components for now but suspect this is a Windows installation issue. As you said, there is no `idle.exe` file and instead file association is done through a `idle.bat` file found at Lib/idlelib/idle.bat. I have a few of questions that I would appreciate if you could answer to give some more context:
 - What behaviour is incorrect? Is it that double clicking doesn't launch python.exe or there is no "edit with IDLE" entry in the right-click menu?
 - Did you install it for different users compared to the other versions (all users / admin vs. just for this user)
 - Do you have any other Python versions installed simultaneously with 3.9?

I agree it may be nice to give a brief overview on IDLE's "behind-the-scenes" though I am slightly confused why you raised this issue as a documentation issue.
