    This removes automatic detection and activation of virtualenv
    environments, which is no longer necessary.  This fixes installation
    under Python 3's inbuilt ``venv`` module.
Remove virtualenv activation Since the original merge of this code (04208e7c79e52e2db905b973ab018deec6782260) several things have changed; particularly now we ship dib-run-parts as part of dib, not as a separate package. We setup $_LIB to point to the shipped library diretory via pkg_resources lookups. We now call dib-run-parts (as mentioned, shipped as a dib library now), source scripts, etc. via $_LIB and thus do not rely on $PATH. Consequently we don't need this activation part. Which is helpful, because "venv" (as opposed to virtualenv) doesn't have activate_this.py. So this fixes installation under that for Python 3. We update the functional tests to use the virtualenv_command exported by the ensure-pip role, which will test the venv path. There is no need for dib_python as we are Python 3 only now.
