Drop the example based on using pip's internals (#519)

pradyunsg · web-flow · commit 4498c5b4d8b0 · 2021-03-29T17:34:02.000-04:00
pip's documentation explicitly states to not use `import pip`:

&gt; While it is implemented in Python, and so is available from your Python code via
&gt; `import pip`, you must not use pip’s internal APIs in this way.

This example is in direct contradiction with the documentation's guidance and, thus, has
been removed.
