Update guide for installing Python on Windows

Browse source 
As pointed out in #2461. I also notice that the installer now has a checkbox
to extend the PATH, so I'm recommending that.

Installing beets on Windows can be tricky. Following these steps might help you
get it right:
1. If you don't have it, `install Python`_ (you want Python 3.6).
1. If you don't have it, `install Python`_ (you want Python 3.6). On the last
screen, the installer gives you the option to "add Python to PATH." Check
this box. If you do that, you can skip the next step.
2. If you haven't done so already, set your ``PATH`` environment variable to
include Python and its scripts. To do so, you have to get the "Properties"
window for "My Computer", then choose the "Advanced" tab, then hit the
"Environment Variables" button, and then look for the ``PATH`` variable in
the table. Add the following to the end of the variable's value:
``;C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Scripts``.
``;C:\Python36;C:\Python36\Scripts``. You may need to adjust these paths to
point to your Python installation.
3. Next, `install pip`_ (if you don't have it already) by downloading and
running the `get-pip.py`_ script.
