Setting up PyCharm project with remote interpreter

Setting up a remote interpreter on PyCharm is awfully unintuitive. I've pared it down to what I think is the minimal number of steps, and leaves the fewest number of deployment configurations and Python interpreters lying around. This is designed for my specific configuration (specifically PyTorch); adapt as needed.

Configuring default project (only do after installing PyCharm for the first time):

1. (Optional) Add virtual environment path to excluded files
   1. From Welcome Page, go to Configure > Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Deployment > Options
   2. Add virtualenv path. For example, if you always have the project's virtualenv in .env, add ";.env" to the "Exclude items by name" field
