Detect virtual environments by probing the interpreter - #7

Conversation
isGlobalPythonEnvironment relied on the Python extension's environment metadata, which is unreliable in some setups (the same metadata that misreported interpreter versions), causing a virtual environment to be misclassified as global and triggering a spurious install warning. Ask the interpreter directly instead: sys.prefix != sys.base_prefix identifies a virtual environment (PEP 405), independent of the extension's metadata.
