Ensure extension gets activated when any python command is selected from the command palette

[DonJayamanne]

Todo:

• Identify commands that do not activate the extension
• Or identify commands, when selected display a message ...command not found

To test this, reload VSC every time and ensure no python file is open

FYI, below are the commands I found in the code. There are 24 that activate the extension and 4 that do not.

activate the extension (24)

• Python: Build Workspace Symbols
• Python: Configure Unit Tests
• Python: Create Terminal
• Python: Debug All Unit Tests
• Python: Discover Unit Tests
• Python: Enable Linting
• Python: Enable source map support for extension debugging
• Python: Run Python File in Terminal
• Python: Run Selection/Line in Django Shell
• Python: Run Selection/Line in Python Terminal
• Python: Go to Python Object
• Python: Run Current Unit Test File

do not activate the extension (4)

Note: I did not check the datascience commands. (There are 24 of them.)
