we do not want to include all the pre-packaged python modules in the
wheel files, python-pip, setuptools, distlib, python-six, python-
requests, etc ...

so what we want to do:

 - if pyvenv3 is called with --system-site-packages, then don't require 
ensurepip at all,
   but try to import the system python3-pip and fail with an import error if it 
fails,
   pointing the user to install python3-pip

- when called without --system-site-packages:
  provide a wheel package/something which is built from the system supplied
  python-pip, setuptools, distlib, ... packages and then used in the venv. Maybe
  use rewheel for this, but in any case build this in a separate source.


** Also affects: python3-defaults (Ubuntu)
