Make kernel and selection UI consistent

[afeld]

I checked if there is an issue already; couldn't find one.

I teach an introductory course on Python and data analysis. We recently went through how to work with Python files and notebooks in VSCode, and one of the steps is selecting the interpreter/kernel (respectively). It occurred to me that it's strange that they're in different places in the UI. Screenshots below.

I know they are technically different things, but they are conceptually very similar, certainly for people working in Python (files and notebooks) exclusively.

My proposal: Move the kernel selection to the Status Bar, same placement as the interpreter selection.

Thanks!

Interpreter

Kernel

@vishalkrish-12 That seems like a bug; I suggest looking through other open issues and potentially opening a new one. The scope of this feature request is specific to the placement of the Select Kernel button.
