Pip Missing DLL Error

pip maintainers consider LibreOffice python install is incomplete because pip
should be installed as part of the distribution -
https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/10006#issuecomment-899956947

Regardless, it will not run following pip documentation. *IF* pip is installed
properly then packages install as expected.

Installing in as a venv still needs consideration.

--------------------

Tested on LibreOffice 7.2 (Python 3.8) [LibreOffice 7.0 (Python 3.7) not
tested].

Following [Ensure you can run pip from the command
line](https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/installing-packages/#id13)
> If that still doesn’t allow you to run python -m pip

```

I don't know where it found existing installation, it wasn't in the path and
that folder was empty until pip was installed. Maybe `get-pip.py` needs to be
downloaded to `C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\program\python-core-3.8.10\bin`.

**Sadly it won't run because the dll is not in the path or current folder:**
