Saving python path

[richtera]

Issue Type: Feature Request

Currently the python path is being saved to .vscode/settings.json
That's not very portable because many times the python path contains the user directory path. I might be a lot better if the the python is from a conda or pyenv to store the name of the environment instead. At least then the user can create the same named environment on each of their machines and the settings.json file would no longer need to change each time. Right now one has to continuously stash and stash apply this file to exclude it from normal commits.

We have an experiment that just rolled out to 50% of users which stops saving to settings.json for your Python environment path, so we will no longer be doing this shortly.

Closing as a duplicate of #2125 .

Also worth mentioning that this experience is already available in our insiders build 😊
