Place the recommended interpreter above the `+ Enter interpreter path` in `Select Interpreter` quick pick #20275

The feedback from Kai was that users are more likely to select the suggestion instead of entering a new path. Hence the most likely option shoudl probably be on top.

We could also consider making "Select interpreter" be a + button.

Just to be clear we're on the same page, the suggestion is to flip order of the first two in the below screen shot Screenshot 2022-11-25 at 09 49 21

We're thinking of not even flipping but pushing the "Enter interpreter path" way down the list since most folks probably don't care about it (have to check telemetry to be sure).
