Launcher documentation should call out that it can launch arbitrary executables #95946

Closed as not planned

Description

@CAD97

Documentation

(Not that this is a security issue in any way, since the Python script can also launch arbitrary executables.)

As a follow-up to gh-94399 / gh-95582, note the behavior of py.exe with #!/usr/bin/env to launch arbitrary interpreters, which could be non-Python.

    Relates to deprecated launcher, and behaviour has changed in the install manager.
