Description
UI companion issue to: https://github.com/posit-dev/positron/issues/4269
Currently, the way to find newly created interpreters is to go to the Command Palette -> Python: Select Interpreter -> click small 🔄 in top right. It would be nice to surface this in a more obvious way; perhaps as its own Command Palette line or in the interpreter selector UI.
Note: some interpreters can be auto-found, eg, venv, conda, when created from the Create new environment option in the command palette.

Research direction
Start by reading the linked interpreter-discovery issue #4269, then inspect the New Session UI and the existing Command Palette path for Python: Select Interpreter. Determine where the interpreter selector is rendered and how its current refresh control is exposed; done means users can trigger discovery from the New Session UI or an agreed, more visible command.
