Following jupyter-server/jupyter_server#1100, this expose the value of JUPYTER_SESSION_NAME environment variable as `__file__`. In _most_ cases, this should reflect the notebook file that correspond to current kernel. It is not set when the env variable is not set. And it represent the name of file at the time the session was created, it will not reflect renaming of the file. We could support renaming, but that would require the frontend to send the name of the current file; this would be helpful when we have multiple frontends/documents connected to the same kernel, but this would be out of scope for this PR and a longer discussion to have.
