Quick fix for #5467. Checks if the path for python is under the windows store folder then error and point the user to the beets [documentation](https://beets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/guides/main.html). Happy for feedback to improve, but thought it best to exit as early as possible.

Proposed solution
We should detect whether Python is installed via the Microsoft Store and issue a warning if so. The warning should say something along the following lines:
Objective
Microsoft Store installations of Python seem to be sandboxed which causes confusion (see #5466).
Goals
Avoid confusion when using Microsoft Store installation.
