Expose API for when the list of interpreters have changed

See original GitHub issue

Discussed in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/discussions/16683

^{Originally posted by DonJayamanne July 13, 2021} Currently there’s no way for Jupyter to know when user creates a new Python environment (conda, or the like).

Is it possible to get an event so we know that new interpreters have been created.

Note: Once thats done, how would we get these new interpreters. Not sure the GetInterrpeters is the best API for this, as that will return all interpreters all over again. Personally it would be nice to have something we can subscribe to, like an observable, this way we only get whats new).</div>
