Bug Description
[Impact]
* Users can expect a pip binary to exist (e.g. LP: #1872746)
They probably shouldn't be using this when they can use apt to install Python things.
But it's reasonable for them to assume it exists.
* Another user expecting pip (ignore the rest of the gist, for sanity):
https:/
[Test Plan]
# apt install python3-pip
# pip --help
[Where problems could occur]
* There are no code-changes here, just introducing another binary in PATH with the same
entry-point as pip3.

At first I was a bit weary of this, as I felt that people might think that /usr/bin/pip is a python-pip version of pip - but then I checked and actually we had a pip2 binary to indicate python2 in bionic. So yes, I think it makes sense to re-add pip just now doing the same as pip3.
