I revised Pyright's editable install docs back in April but neglected to update Pylance's docs to match.
This PR copies the editable install section from https://github.com/microsoft/pyright/blob/main/docs/import-resolution.md#editable-installs with a small change to replace "Pyright" with "Pylance".
Btw, Eric recently mentioned this mypy issue comment and was concerned that that meant that the workarounds we describe in this documentation would no longer work in recent versions of
pip. However, that language was added to thesetuptoolsdocumentation back in Feb 2023, so I don't believe there has been any recent behavior change in this area.
