Problem
Fixes #1284
When the Python Environments extension (ms-python.vscode-python-envs) is installed but python.useEnvironmentsExtension is not explicitly set, users see two interpreter status bar items — one from each extension.
Root Cause
The interpreter display in InterpreterDisplay used useEnvExtension() to decide whether to create/show its status bar. That function requires python.useEnvironmentsExtension to be explicitly true (defaults to false). Meanwhile, the envs extension activates whenever the setting is not explicitly false — treating unset/undefined as enabled.
