Dmitry Tantsur e793cc4038 Remove virtualenv activation
Since the original merge of this code
(04208e7c79) 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.

This removes automatic detection and activation of virtualenv
environments, which is no longer necessary. This fixes installation
under Python 3's inbuilt ``venv`` module.
