Fixes #144.
On Windows (Git Bash),
python3often resolves to%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python3.exeahead of%LOCALAPPDATA%\Python\bin\python3.exe. Bothte-hookandteran apython3 -c ""probe and thenexecagainst that alias on every hook event, triggering theAppXSvcmemory leak (python/pymanager#396).This updates
te-hookandteonWindows_NTto look for a Python executable outside*WindowsApps*first (with no subprocess probe), and only fall back to probing aWindowsAppsalias when no other interpreter is onPATH. Also added regression tests intests/test_plugin_package.py.
