Mitchell Hentges 162c7ab422 Bug 1732946: Vendor pip/setuptools/wheel instead of installing into venv r=ahal
Now that are prioritizing system over virtualenv site-packages, the
system `pip` is sometimes being used instead.
This is causing issues when the system pip is set up in a
distro-specific way, such as when "debundled":
https://github.com/pypa/pip/blob/9.0.1/pip/_vendor/__init__.py#L53-L61

However, if we vendor `pip`, `setuptools` and `wheel`, and ensure that
they're prioritized in the `sys.path` before anything is imported from
the system, then we can ensure that we're using a modern `pip` _and_
sidestep system-specific pip weirdness.

Note that `pip-compile`'s `--allow-unsafe` flag is not as dangerous as
it sounds.
There's confusion among maintainers about its origin:
https://github.com/jazzband/pip-tools/issues/522
Additionally, it's going to be enabled by default in a future
`pip-tools` release. So, it's not scary for us to embrace here.

Also, heads up that the "pip outdated warning" no longer needs
to be manually silenced, since pip avoids that code path when
not running from an "installed" context.
