Issue #25154: Deprecate the pyvenv script.
This was done so as to move users to `python3 -m venv` which prevents confusion over which Python interpreter will be used in the virtual environment when more than one is installed.

Deprecated features
-------------------
-* None yet.
+* The ``pyvenv`` script has been deprecated in favour of ``python3 -m venv``.
+ This prevents confusion as to what Python interpreter ``pyvenv`` is
+ connected to and thus what Python interpreter will be used by the virtual
+ environment. See :issue:`25154`.
