Folks who use git need to run ./bootstrap to have these launchers created.
This has been true now since #23761.

However, I initially left these commonly used launchers checked in so that
folks could run them and they would report the "you need to run bootstrap
message".

Now that its been 6 months we removed the launcher I think existing
users should all now be aware of the ./bootstrap script. I'm also
hoping to move to .exe files on windows soon, and this change will
help smooth the way: #24858

Perhaps we can document this first? I am imagining a user that hasn't updated in the last 6 months, and updates, and all the scripts are gone. They might check the README and the changelog, so perhaps it is worth updating both?

Would love to land this now so we can move forward with #24858. Also I just tagged 5.0.1 so it seems like to good time.
