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?
