Expected behaviour

When opening a terminal in a project with a pipenv environment selected, the environment should be activated using pipenv shell. This seems to be indicated as the expected behavior by the resolution of issue #2855.

Actual behaviour

The pipenv environment is activated using <pipenv dir>/Scripts/activate.ps1. This causes the .env file to not be loaded.

Steps to reproduce:

[NOTE: Self-contained, minimal reproducing code samples are extremely helpful and will expedite addressing your issue]

1. Create a new directory.
2. In a terminal, navigate to the new directory and create a pipenv environment using pipenv shell.
3. Open VS Code on the new directory.
4. Create a new python file in the directory, so the Python extension is loaded.
5. Ensure that the correct pipenv environment is selected.
6. Open a new terminal in VS Code.
7. Observe that the environment is activated using <pipenv dir>/Scripts/activate.ps1 and not pipenv shell.

I am having the same issue in Windows with venv. None of my venvs are activating or being recognized by vscode. Maybe due to a powershell update I got today.

This issue also applies on MacOS and is very annoying.

There seems be a history of this feature being implemented but then being reverted.

Handle #4203 if and when bringing pipenv shell back.
