vscode-jupyter: Don't activate Python extension until needed (Tests Needed)
Issue Type: Bug
When I startup VS Code I get this in a workspace that exclusively contains markdown files. This is the only window I have open. Why?
Extension version: 2021.2.636928669 VS Code version: Code - Insiders 1.55.0-insider (Universal) (9b2ee7fb7d970b9a628fdb3545bdd01d67078d16, 2021-03-11T05:15:23.749Z) OS version: Darwin arm64 20.3.0

I’d strongly prefer for it not to be a separate extension. I believe there are other ways we can solve that (e.g. through an npm package?).
My main concern regarding the separate extension is that it IMO adds unnecessary complexity to the UX of installation of the Python extension.
Suppose we did have a “Python Environments” extension. We’d need other functionality like the start page, start REPL and things like that be somewhere else. What would we call that extension, and how would users understand how that is different from the Python environments one? We have some users complaining about the extra entry for the Jupyter extension in their installed extensions view, I imagine a lot of people would be annoyed and confused about this extra one too.
I can see us breaking the extension down into formatters and linters and even having a pytest extension instead of a built-in solution. But I’m struggling to see the user value in having a “Python Environments” and a “Python core” extension.
Notebook seems okay to load the python extension. It just shouldn’t load in a directory with markdown files.
