Review request for Aurora, Bill Farner and Zameer Manji.


Changes
-------

Fix grammar in description.


Bugs: AURORA-876
    https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AURORA-876


Repository: aurora


Description (updated)
-------

Use virtualenv to build pants instead of pex.

The goal of this change is to reduce CI flakiness by using `pip install` rather 
than `pex` to bootstrap pants. This still reaches out to external servers (and 
thus has the potential to be flaky) but is at least configurable (via 
`--default-timeout`). In a future review we can consider mirroring to 
svn.apache.org and disabling PyPI lookups.

This requires a change to production executor code to use `sys.executable` 
rather than chmod+x-ing the runner PEX. Failure to do this results in the pants 
virtualenv's `site-packages` shadowing the dependencies in the `pex` (fairly 
obviously as there is a test failure related to psutil1/2 conflicts). I'm sure 
I'm papering over a PEX bug here but IMO this is fine as the only reason for it 
is to execute the thermos runner PEX under a different python interpreter than 
the executor is using (based on the hash-bang in the pex). This is not a 
configuration we need to support IMO.
