This isn't necessary. We can configure redirects on the ReadTheDocs admin pages which is definitely the better approach here (see https://pip.pypa.io/surveys/backtracking for example) |

This PR configures a redirect from https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/warnings/venv to https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html.
As part of #9394, users who run pip as root will be warned with the former URL. The redirected link will guide users towards installing venv to avoid root usage.
A redirect is preferred since the destination URL may change, and this decouples documentation from the code.
