Refresh the venv introduction documentation, and correct the incorrect statement about the VIRTUAL_ENV environment variable mentioned in #21970 (comment) in discussion with @vsajip.
This is quite an extensive restructure of the venv introduction. The existing documentation has clearly been developed iteratively, and it therefore needed a bit of effort to ensure that the information is presented logically and consistently. I am happy to adapt/adjust as requested, but I believe the proposed change is simpler, shorter and more precise.
In practice this documentation can be back-ported fully (it doesn't refer to any new features).
