VIRTUAL_ENV variable accessible in settings.json

[DetachHead]

i want to be able to do this:

{
    "python.analysis.typeshedPaths": ["${env:VIRTUAL_ENV}/lib/site-packages/mypy/typeshed"]
}

but i can't because i think the VIRTUAL_ENV variable is only accessible within the virtual env. ideally i would be able to use ${command:python.interpreterPath} but i understand those commands don't work in settings.json

see #2221 (comment)
