[PULL 37/68] tests: Use configure-provided pyvenv for tests

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

From: John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com>

This patch changes how the avocado tests are provided, ever so
slightly. Instead of creating a new testing venv, use the
configure-provided 'pyvenv' instead, and install optional packages into
that.
