When creating a new virtual env with `python3 -m venv .venv --prompt env`, the prompt information is only used to set a temporary PS1. This information is lost when using custom prompt, for example with ZSH. I propose to set VIRTUAL_ENV_PROMPT=__VENV_PROMPT__ when activating the newly created venv, to be used by tools and other shells.
