[issue34507] Add path expansion interpolation in pyvenv.cfg home key

[Lior Cohen]

New submission from Lior Cohen <chnlior at gmail.com>:

When working with venv virtual environment, python.exe finds its base_prefix and base_exec_prefix by the home key in the pyvenv.cfg file.

If one edits this file with $xyz (or %xyz% in windows), it is not not resolved.

The reason of replacing the absolute path generated by venv to path expand tokens, is to be able to port the venv + its base python to different machine, which is part of my company deployment process.
