venv should include python-config in the virtual environment

Bug report

Bug description:

When venv creates a virtual environment it puts the specified python binary from the python distributions bin directory into the virtual environment's bin directory. It does not add the python-config script from the python distribution's bin directory to the virtual environment's bin directory. I, and many others, believe that it should.

From the Debian python-config man page:

python-config helps compiling and linking programs, which embed the Python interpreter, or extension modules that can be loaded dynamically (at run time) into the interpreter.

Any python project that is going to include a custom module written in C is going to want to use python-config to help compile and link that C code. It's going to want to use the python-config for the version of python that the rest of the project is using (from the virtual environment). Currently that is very difficult because python-config is not part of the virtual environment. This defeats the safety and convenience of virtual environments.

There are several different threads of people asking for this in virtualenv, pyvenv, anaconda, uv, etc., and most of those projects say, "well, the built-in venv doesn't put python-config in the virtual environment's bin directory, so we aren't going to do it either." Yet there seems to be no reason why python-config is not put into the virtual environment along with python.

CPython versions tested on:

3.13

Operating systems tested on:

Linux

Commencez par localiser l’implémentation de venv et ses tests spécifiques à Linux, puis suivez la manière dont l’exécutable Python de l’environnement est sélectionné et installé. Ajoutez une couverture de tests montrant que la python-config correspondante est disponible dans le répertoire bin de l’environnement, et vérifiez le comportement sous Linux avec Python 3.13.
