Add Warehouse base URL for index option documentation for install, search

[brainwane]

• Pip version: 9.0.1
• Python version: 3.6.4
• Operating system: Debian Linux 9.3 (stretch)

Description:

We should, in the pip search documentation and pip install documentation, remind people that the alternate index URL for the new PyPI is https://pypi.org/pypi .

pip search or pip3 search, when given the -i argument to search pypi.org, seek out https://pypi.org/RPC2 , which does not exist. I presume something similar happens with pip install -i https://pypi.org, which fails with "No matching distribution found".

As we move into the next few phases of Warehouse development, we'll be advising testers to try pip install-ing from the new PyPI; it'll help if the right URL is provided in the pip docs, where people will look when they're trying to figure out how to retrieve packages and search information from the new site.

What I've run:

$ pip3 search beautifulsoup4
beautifulsoup4-slurp (0.0.2)  - Slurp packages Beautifulsoup4 into command line.
beautifulsoup4 (4.6.0)        - Screen-scraping library
parse-helper (0.1.16)         - Helpers to fetch & parse text on pages with requests, lxml, &
                                beautifulsoup4
soup_helpers (0.0.8)          - A simple set of BeautifulSoup4 unit test helpers

$ pip3 search -i https://pypi.org beautifulsoup4
HTTP error 404 while getting https://pypi.org/RPC2

Install and search use different endpoints. Install should use /simple/ while search uses /pypi.
