Description
Context: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/21793#issuecomment-1674672384
- Currently https://aka.ms/vscodePythonTerminalActivation points at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/wiki/Activate-Environments-in-Terminal-Using-Environment-Variables
We should move this to the actual docs website since it's official documentation intended for the user. - Document the limitation of deactivate command not working.
- We should also update any docs related to Python: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/944#issuecomment-1718163165
