[ty] Add basic support for non-virtual Python environments (#17991)
This adds basic support for non-virtual Python environments by accepting
a directory without a `pyvenv.cfg` which allows existing, subsequent
site-packages discovery logic to succeed. We can do better here in the
long-term, by adding more eager validation (for error messages) and
parsing the Python version from the discovered site-packages directory
(which isn't relevant yet, because we don't use the discovered Python
version from virtual environments as the default `--python-version` yet
either).

You can review this commit by commit if it makes you happy.
I tested this manually; I think refactoring the test setup is going to
be a bit more invasive so I'll stack it on top (see
https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/pull/17996).
