Python virtual environment creation fixes and refactor

[tg359]

Issues addressed by this PR

Closes #106

As of 2023-08-03 this code certainly requires a bunch of versioning stuff added (as well as old code re-included) in order to appease the bot. This message will be removed once that's been done but I wanted to raise this now in WIP to stop me from forgetting.

Changes should mean that reinstallation of an environment completely removes the old one in order to "start fresh" and avoid conflicts, plus methods of querying existing environments are a lot faster.

The errors with the CSProject (.csproj) files have been recorded as annotations on the checks tab.

I will apply the fixes to every case detailed on the checks tab with the exception of any references to the target framework. I am unable to provide fixes to the Target Framework automatically, these will need to be performed manually.
