Series configure: create a python venv and ensure meson, sphinx | expand

Commit Message

John Snow May 11, 2023, 3:54 a.m. UTC
This script will be responsible for building a lightweight Python
virtual environment at configure time. It works with Python 3.6 or
newer.

It has been designed to:
- work *offline*, no PyPI required.
- work *quickly*, The fast path is only ~65ms on my machine.
- work *robustly*, with multiple fallbacks to keep things working.
- work *cooperatively*, using system packages where possible.
  (You can use your distro's meson, no problem.)

Due to its unique position in the build chain, it exists outside of the
installable python packages in-tree and *must* be runnable without any
third party dependencies.

Under normal circumstances, the only dependency required to execute this
script is Python 3.6+ itself. The script is *faster* by several seconds
when setuptools and pip are installed in the host environment, which is
probably the case for a typical multi-purpose developer workstation.

In the event that pip/setuptools are missing or not usable, additional
dependencies may be required on some distributions which remove certain
Python stdlib modules to package them separately:

- Debian may require python3-venv to provide "ensurepip"
- NetBSD may require py310-expat to provide "pyexpat" *
  (* Or whichever version is current for NetBSD.)
