Horizontal separators in Python interpreter list #17944
Description
With the last release, the Jupyter extensions added horizontal separators with labels to the notebook kernel list. The Python interpreter list is already sorted. If it's possible, I think it would be a nice usability improvement to add separators there as well.

👍🏻 I'm not a huge fan of the old insider support tbh, especially since it updates automatically. I prefer a bit more control about how and when I update. Looking forward to the dedicated pre-releases though, #18144.
