Research direction
Inspect the project documentation describing installation and package building. Update it to explain that meson-python re-implements installation rather than running meson install, including that install_rpath and scripts registered with meson.add_install_script() have no effect. Done means both limitations are accurately documented.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Amend the documentation to reflect the fact that we don't actually run meson install but just re-implement it. This affects two Meson features: install_rpath support, and running scripts registered with meson.add_install_script(). Both things have no effect when building a package with meson-python.
