Allow specifying the python interpreter

With a prefix environment to venv-mkvirtualenv I'd like to specify which python interpreter to use. This is useful if I want to create a Python 2 virtualenv on a box where Python 3 is the default, or if I want a pypy virtualenv.

ohhh yeah good point I use that all the time too. No promises on timeline but I'll get around to adding it at some point. PRs welcome if you want to give it a go :)

I'm not sure I understand. If I do mkvirtualenv -p python3 an-env on command line, shouldn't an M-x venv-workon call use python3? However, it seems C-u 3 M-x venv-workon will use python3, so at least it is possible.

Hmm, disregard. Now M-x venv-workon and a call to interactive gives the virtualenv's version of python. Sorry for noise.
