Hi all!

This is my first time proposing or submitting an idea, so I apologize if
I've gone about all of this the wrong way.

I've been using venv for lots of development but came upon a use-case where
I wanted to extend the capabilities of it to support a home directory
relative to the pyvenv.cfg file.  This can be quite useful for tools
intending to be used as an executable (e.g. black, supervisor), but need to
be packaged with an application that may or may not use the same
interpreter.  In order to keep it portable and yet be able to potentially
share interpreters where possible, all of the relative paths from the
venv's to their interpreters are able to be kept constant, even though the
absolute paths are not.

I've submitted an issue ( https://bugs.python.org/issue39469 )  and PR (
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/18213 ) for it, but as I said, it's
my first time doing any of this and would love some feedback.

Cheers,
-Jeff
