This PR updates `package.nls.json` to clarify the relationship between some of the new settings in this extension and legacy settings from the Python extension, and is a follow-up task to yesterday's sync meeting and the discussion in [issue microsoft#861](microsoft#861 (comment)). I added these notes to the Environments extension rather than the Python extension because the extension is currently rolled out via A/B testing and this can help avoiding confusion. Adding references to `python-env.*` settings in the main Python extension would confuse the majority of users who do not yet have this extension installed or not in the control group. This approach allows us to encourage adoption of the new settings for users in the experiment without disrupting the workflow or documentation for the general user base.
