Run node code on the venv Fluksio was installed into

The workflow this serves: make a venv, install what you work with, then `pip
install fluksio` into the same one. Building a second environment beside it
was exactly wrong — the packages the nodes need are already here, and the
Modules screen was asking for them a second time.

`NODE_VENV=auto` (the default) adopts that venv. It declines in the three
cases where adopting would be wrong: `managed` says otherwise, a managed venv
already exists and may hold packages somebody installed on purpose, or the
engine is not running from a venv at all. The images set `managed`, since the
venv in them holds the app and nothing of anybody else's.

An adopted venv is never written to. `uv pip sync` makes a venv hold exactly
the manifest, so pointed at somebody's own environment it uninstalls their
work and the engine with it — `sync()` refuses outright and `reconcile()`
returns before it can be called at startup, which is where that would have
happened first. The Modules screen lists what is installed and drops its
editor; `pip` is how that environment changes.

`fluksio serve` now names the interpreter node code runs on, which is the
thing a data scientist most needs to know at that moment. `fluksio-worker`
already defaulted `--python` to its own interpreter, so a GPU box works the
same way — that was only ever undocumented.

### Your own code as a package
!!! tip "If Fluksio is installed in the venv you work in, skip this"
Node code then runs on that environment, so your project and everything it
imports are already importable — see
[Getting started: data science](../getting-started/data-science.md). What
follows is for a Fluksio with a venv of its own, which is what a container
always has.
A manifest line can name a directory, so the project you already have is
installable like any other dependency:
