pip_setup does not require installed python

What would you like help with?

I think I found a bug

How are you running Renovate?

Self-hosted

If you're self-hosting Renovate, tell us which platform (GitHub, GitLab, etc) and which version of Renovate.

Please tell us more about your question or problem

According to the docs, pip_setup uses python to parse the setup.py file:

setup.py files are parsed by calling out to python and then using a mock to detect imported modules.

However, according to #6367 and to the code, a JS based parser is used and so there is no need to have a python installation avaibale. Can you please check if the docs could be updated?

Logs (if relevant)

The docs are outdated and that sentence should be removed

[HonkingGoose]

Removing the sentence, would delete the file. I think some tests/other build code probably expects us to have a readme.md file in each manager's docs folder. So I'm replacing the old text with a short blurb about the JS-based parser instead.

See PR:

Thanks a lot!
