Instructions for changing shell

Issue

The documentation is missing instructions on changing the shell type for poetry. On windows, it defaults to cmd, at least for me. Took a while to figure out why certain commands suddenly broke. It should be mentioned in the docs along with instructions on how to change the shell type.

Windows always running cmd is a particular issue, see #2030. It also doesn't honour $SHELL on Windows, and falls back to cmd.exe if it can't find the current shell.

The shell command doc was improved in #9060.
