Python: Positron should detect virtual env in working directory of Positron #2745

From Private Beta user discussion:

Preamble I typically work directly in a terminal (iTerm2) with tmux and launch the editor from the command line. When launched, I would expect Positron to use the running virtual environment.

Steps to reproduce:

cd PositronProjects
cd ml
pyenv virtualenv ml
pyenv activate ml
pip install ipykernel
pyenv versions
* ml --> /Users/$USER/.pyenv/versions/3.11.8/envs/ml (set by PYENV_VERSION environment variable)
positron .

Positron does not select the virtualenv from the working directory that launched Positron as the default Python runtime, but it should detect this and use it by default.
