Improve "No Python interpreter" selected prompt

See original GitHub issue

Environment data

VS Code version: 1.62-insider
Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): v2021.10.1317843341

I think this just showed up today, but I can’t give exact repro steps. I was doing python things in different repos for awhile. At some point, I noticed that I get this notification every time I open a window with a python project

I don’t usually see that. Then I noticed that I have this setting, which I definitely didn’t set manually: "python.defaultInterpreterPath": "/opt/python/latest/bin/python". Removing that makes the notification go away. Is there something in the extension that adds that setting? That path does not exist for me.
