Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating how vscode-powershell currently selects the PowerShell executable, then evaluate the proposed Aqua or mise command flow. Done would mean the extension can use an externally managed PowerShell version for a session without being tied to a hardcoded path.

Description
Prerequisites
- I have written a descriptive issue title.
- I have searched all issues to ensure it has not already been reported.
Summary
There are now multiple multiplatform tools that can manage PowerShell versions as any other dev tool, like:
- Aqua: https://aquaproj.github.io/
- mise: https://mise.jdx.dev/
- Uses Aqua registry (and other sources)
It'd be cool if vscode-powershell somehow could integrate with external tools for easily setting what PowerShell version to run for a session. It doesn't have to be tool specific, but maybe instead of hardcoding a path to pwsh.exe one could do trigger a command:
mise use pwsh@<version_supplied_by_vscode_powershell>; mise where pwsh@<version_supplied_by_vscode_powershell>
Which then tells what path to pwsh.exe vscode-powershell should use.
