Inline alternate x.py invocations from the rust-lang/rust readme

I'm going to make a follow-up PR shortly linking from rust-lang/rust to the dev guide so this info isn't duplicated.

+### Running `x.py`
+
+The `x.py` command can be run directly on most Unix systems in the following format:
+
+```sh
+./x.py <subcommand> [flags]
+```

+This is how the documentation and examples assume you are running `x.py`.
+Some alternative ways are:
+
+```sh
+# On a Unix shell if you don't have the necessary `python3` command
+./x <subcommand> [flags]
+
+# On Windows (if powershell is configured to run scripts)
+./x.ps1 <subcommand> [flags]
+
+# On the Windows Command Prompt (if .py files are configured to run Python)
+x.py <subcommand> [flags]
+
+# You can also run Python yourself, e.g.:
+python x.py <subcommand> [flags]
