[issue43364] Add shortcut to enable UTF-8 mode in start menu.

User may install Python from python.org installer, scoop, conda, and Windows Store.
So envvar is not a right tool to configure only one installation.

Anyway, adding more complex way to configure Python can be discussed later.

Paul Moore againsted adding more way to configure Python [1].
So let's focus on promoting existing way in Python 3.10.

> Yes, if the installer directly sets an environment variable, then the setting should be specific to the installed version, such as PYTHONUTF8_310-32.

Then, suspend GH-24742 (adding checkbox to installer).

In GH-24743, I added the shortcut from the installer. But I am not sure it is the best way, because only Python installed from the installer have it.

I will check how conda installs Python on Windows. If it contains Tools, we may add `enable-utf8mode.bat` and `disable-utf8mode.bat` to the Tools.
