Consider adding PYTHONSTARTUP with shell integration to environment variable collection

Currently opening the REPL will open the default shell with a custom environment:

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/blob/e90b95df9f1f3ac587ee3e23b8741c07e6557222/src/client/common/terminal/service.ts#L82-L86

And then run `& .../python3` to launch it as a sub-shell:

Why not set the environment variable globally such that any python sub-shell will have shell integration? Adding this to my pwsh profile works:

 ```
$env:PYTHONSTARTUP = "/Users/tyriar/.vscode-insiders/extensions/ms-python.python-2024.13.2024080701-darwin-arm64/python_files/pythonrc.py"
```

	this.terminal = this.terminalManager.createTerminal({
	name: this.options?.title \|\| 'Python',
	env: { PYTHONSTARTUP: this.envVarScript },
	hideFromUser: this.options?.hideFromUser,
	});
