default config is wrong if there's a virtual env in the project

[apotterri]

When appmap creates a default config for a project directory that contains a virtual environment, it includes all the packages installed in the venv. This isn't desirable and causes various failures.

If possible, it should detect a directory that's a venv and ignore it.

What are the steps required to reproduce this? I've installed appmap in a new directory containing a venv with some packages, but the resulting appmap.yml only contains

appmap_dir: tmp/appmap
language: python
name: test
packages: []

IIRC, you need to create the venv in the project's root directory, and the venv directory name needs to not start with a ., and not be node_modules (not that any project would do the latter).
