* Convert paths in venv activate script when using Git Bash under Windows
With https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/112508 the check to converts paths when running on Windows was changed from using the non-posix environment variable `$OSTYPE` to using `uname` instead.
However this missed the fact that when running under Git Bash on Windows, uname reports `MINGW*` (`$OSTYPE` is still `msys`).
This results in `$PATH` being set to something like `D:\a\github-actions-shells\github-actions-shells\venv/Scripts:…`, instead of `/d/a/github-actions-shells/github-actions-shells/venv/Scripts`.
Notably, the Git Bash is the bash shell that’s used for GitHub Actions Windows runners, and ships with VSCode.
Update comments about what running hash -r does
The old comment said "hash -r" forgets "past commands." However, the documentation for "hash" states that it forgets past locations. The old comment was, in my opinion, confusing. This is because it could be interpreted to mean it does something to the command history (HISTORY/HISTFILE etc) vs the cache of locations.
pythongh-112571: allow using fish venv activation script on windows
The fish shell can be used on windows under cygwin or msys2.
This change moves the script to the common folder
so the venv module will install it on both posix and nt systems (like the bash script).
This improves the implementation in gh-106643.
Previously, venv passed "(<prompt>) " to the activation scripts, but we want
to provide the original value so that users can inspect it in the
$VIRTUAL_ENV_PROMPT env var.
Note: Lib/venv/scripts/common/Activate.ps1 surrounded the prompt value with
parens a second time, so no change was necessary in that file.
Detect Cygwin and MSYS with `uname` instead of `$OSTYPE`
`$OSTYPE` is not defined by POSIX and may not be present in other shells.
`uname` is always available in any shell.
The `activate` script calls `hash -r` in two places to make sure the shell picks
up the environment changes the script makes. Before that, it checks to
see if the shell running the script is bash or zsh.
`hash -r` is specified by POSIX and is not exclusive to bash and zsh.
This guard prevents the script from calling `hash -r` in other
`#!/bin/sh`-compatible shells like dash.
When using python's built-in venv activaton script
warnings are printed when hashing is disabled in
bash or zsh, like;
`bash: hash: hashing disabled`
This output is not really useful to the end-user and has
been disabled in `virtualenv` for long.

Before, running deactivate from a bash shell configured to treat undefined variables as errors (`set -u`) would produce a warning:
```
$ python3 -m venv test
$ source test/bin/activate
(test) $ deactivate
-bash: $1: unbound variable
```
The activation scripts generated by venv were inconsistent in how they changed the shell's prompt. Some used `__VENV_PROMPT__` exclusively, some used `__VENV_PROMPT__` if it was set even though by default `__VENV_PROMPT__` is always set and the fallback matched the default, and one ignored `__VENV_PROMPT__` and used `__VENV_NAME__` instead (and even used a differing format to the default prompt). This change now has all activation scripts use `__VENV_PROMPT__` only and relies on the fact that venv sets that value by default.
The color of the customization is also now set in fish to the blue from the Python logo for as hex color support is built into that shell (much like PowerShell where the built-in green color is used).
- Remove use of replacement text in the script
- Make use of the pyvenv.cfg file for prompt value.
- Add parameters to allow more flexibility
- Make use of the current path, and assumptions about where env puts things, to compensate
- Make the script a bit more 'idiomatic' Powershell
- Add script documentation (Get-Help .\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1 shows PS help page now
Handle Unicode contents on localised Windows systems when activating a
venv. activate.bat currently breaks on German Windows systems, as chcp.com does
not return a plain number as on English systems, but (arbitrarily) appends a dot at the end
(for example "Aktive Codepage: 850." instead of "Active Codepage: 850"). The
dependency to chcp.com is removed and ctypes is used to get, set and restore the
console output code page. The code page for console input is not changed.
We can't use __VENV_PYTHON__ to find python.exe, since it's UTF-8. cmd.exe decodes
the script using the console output code page.
PowerShell Core 6.1 is the cross-platform port of Windows PowerShell. This change updates Activate.ps1 to not make Windows assumptions as well as installing it into the bin/Scripts directory on all operating systems.
Requires PowerShell Core 6.1 for proper readline support once the shell has been activated for the virtual environment.
