Add `x.sh` and `x.ps1` shell scripts

This is a more ambitious version of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98716.
It still changes the shebang back to python3, for compatibility with non-Unix systems,
but also adds alternative entrypoints for systems without `python3` installed.

These scripts will be necessary for the rust entrypoint (#94829), so I see
little downside in adding them early.
