doc: prefer "python -m pip" (#14353)
The current guidance for install Python packages is to use python -m pip install <package_name> Instead of pip install <package_name> This ensures that one is using the version of pip that is tied to the environment's interpreter (and, thusly, its packages). This has [been endorsed by a core maintainer](https://snarky.ca/why-you-should-use-python-m-pip/) as being the recommended way to invoke pip. As there currently are a few places where the old invocation was used, attempt to bring them in line. Fixes #14234
