Special case pip entrypoint names

Users expect pip to have `pip`, `pip3` and `pip3.x` entrypoints. But pip is a universal wheel, so it contains the `pip3.x` entrypoint where it was built on. To fix this, pip special cases itself when installing (https://github.com/pypa/pip/blob/3898741e29b7279e7bffe044ecfbe20f6a438b1e/src/pip/_internal/operations/install/wheel.py#L283), replacing the wheel entrypoint with one for the current version. We now do the same.

Fixes #1593
