Allow setting venv location in user level config
For various reasons, I don't keep my .venv directory in the same directory as the project (as seems to be increasingly a convention and is default in uv currently).
I'm coming from using virtualenvwrapper where I could configure a WORKON_HOME as the location for the envs.
I can replicate this for each venv with something like this:
uv venv ~/.envs/$(basename "$PWD")
However I think a limitation of this is that uv isn't able to automatically activate the venv when running e.g uv sync.
It would be really nice to have the location (prefix to a directory containing them, defaulting to .) of the envs exposed in ~/.config/uv/uv.toml. This, ideally, would then be respected in other commands like uv sync.
I think this is a duplicate of https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/1495 (and #5229)
