[PATCH v2] tools/make_pip: Use venv when invoking pip

[Mattijs Korpershoek]

Recent Ubuntu versions (24.04+) disallow pip by default when
installing packages. The recommended approach is to use a virtual
environment (venv) instead.
Because of this, "make pip" is failing on such versions.

To prepare CI container migration to Ubuntu 24.04, use a venv in the
make_pip script.

This has been tested in docker on ubuntu:24.04 after running:
$ apt install python3 python3-venv

with:
$ ./scripts/make_pip.sh u_boot_pylib "-n"

And shows:
Successfully built u_boot_pylib-0.0.6.tar.gz and u_boot_pylib-0.0.6-py3-none-any.whl

Also tested with "$ make pip".

Changes in v2:
- Use venv instead of virtualenv (Tom)
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250409-ubuntu-24-04-v1-1-056728207b6c@kernel.org
