.venv option for wx Orchestrate ADK extension on VS Code

Currently, the VS Code extension supports virtual environments stored in venv. Yet for projects set up with uv, virtual environments are stored in .venv. However, this mismatch prevents the ADK extension from finding the venv.

Currently, the cleanest way is to ask UV to set up the virtual environment with venv instead of the default .venv, but it is tedious once the project is already set up and colleagues are working together. It would be nice if the ADK extension could recognize both .venv and venv folders in the project.
