Warn when `venv` target directory already contains an environment

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

When a user runs:

python -m venv myenv

and the directory already contains a virtual environment, Python silently performs no action. This behavior can be confusing, as the user receives no indication that the command had no effect.

I propose that venv should display a simple warning when it detects an existing virtual environment so the user knows the operation didn’t make any changes.

Example of the suggested output:

$ python -m venv myenv
Existing virtual environment found at 'myenv'.
No changes were made.
Use '--clear' to recreate this environment.

This provides clarity while keeping behavior backward-compatible. Users who want to recreate the environment can explicitly use --clear.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

Comece pelo ponto de entrada python -m venv e compare seu comportamento quando o diretório de destino já contém um ambiente. Verifique como a opção existente --clear altera esse comportamento. Considera-se concluído quando um ambiente existente produz o aviso proposto e informa que nenhuma alteração foi feita, enquanto a limpeza explícita continua disponível.
