Tom Rini efd00b0345 python: Use and refer to the venv module rather than virtualenv
Using some form of sandbox with Python modules is a long standing best
practice with the language. There are a number of ways to have a Python
sandbox be created. At this point in time, it seems the Python community
is moving towards using the "venv" module provided with Python rather
than a separate tool. To match that we make the following changes:

- Refer to a "Python sandbox" rather than virtualenv in comments, etc.
- Install the python3-venv module in our container and not virtualenv.
- In our CI files, invoke "python -m venv" rather than "virtualenv".
- In documentation, tell users to install python3-venv and not
  virtualenv.
