Add Project Meta-issue

Project Summary

One of the core functionalities of the python environments extension is project management. A project (in the context of this extension) will be defined as: "a single or group of python files which have a environment connected to them". Projects are created by aPythonProjectCreator which implements a create function that will return a PythonProject.

Here is the creators we plan to have as built-ins in the extension:
