Fix Poetry environments misidentified as Venv (#268)

Poetry environments in cache directories were reported as `kind =
'Venv'` instead of `'Poetry'` when workspace directories weren't
configured or `pyproject.toml` wasn't in the workspace.

**Example:**
```
Path: /Users/user/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/nestedpoetry-yJwtIF_Q-py3.11/
Before: kind = 'Venv'
After:  kind = 'Poetry'
```

## Changes

**Root cause:** `Poetry::try_from()` only checked cached environments
from `find()`. Uncached environments returned `None`, falling through to
Venv locator.

**Solution:** Added fallback path-based detection when cache lookup
fails:

```rust
fn is_poetry_environment(path: &Path) -> bool {
    // Check path contains "pypoetry/virtualenvs"
    // Validate directory name matches: {name}-{8-char-hash}-py{version}
    // Regex: ^.+-[A-Za-z0-9_-]{8}-py.*$
}
```

Updated `try_from()` to check path pattern after cache miss, creating
Poetry environment if pattern matches. Works across platforms (macOS,
Linux, Windows) without filesystem I/O.

## Testing

Added 8 unit tests covering:
- Platform-specific paths (macOS/Linux/Windows cache directories)
- Pattern variations (with/without version suffix)
- Negative cases (non-Poetry paths, wrong hash length)
- Real-world examples from bug report
