The Virtual Environment tutorial page (https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html) doesn't specify how we can revert, or deactivate the `venv`.

This is quite a popular question on SO:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/990754/how-to-leave-exit-deactivate-a-python-virtualenv

``deactivate`` worked for me—this could be added to the docs?

Happy to submit a PR.

In the same vein, the specified script for windows is the old .bat file, though PowerShell is now the preferred shell (and for which a .ps1 script is generated in the venv directory).

We could make the .ps1 the default, and specify the .bat as an alternative?
