[Python Environments] Environment file pop-up #1092

Description

@cecheta

Type: Feature Request

Every time a .env file is created/edited anywhere in the workspace, and python.terminal.useEnvFile is false, a pop-up comes up explaining that environment injection is disabled. It would be good if this prompt had a "Don't show again" button, as it can happen quite frequently.
