[PATCH 2/2] tests: update avocado installation to use mkvenv

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

The recent changes to Python handling mean that there is a single
virtual environment for all the build, instead of a separate one for testing.
Because this virtual environment will often have system site packages
available, it makes sense to use mkvenv.py to install avocado, which will
avoid using PyPI if a new-enough version is available in the system.

However, requiring a specific version of avocado will cause conflicts with
any avocado plugins installed on the host:

   $ make check-venv
   make[1]: Entering directory '/home/berrange/src/virt/qemu/build'
     GIT     ui/keycodemapdb tests/fp/berkeley-testfloat-3 tests/fp/berkeley-softfloat-3 dtc
     VENVPIP install -e /home/berrange/src/virt/qemu/python/
     VENVPIP install -r /home/berrange/src/virt/qemu/tests/requirements.txt
   ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts.
   avocado-framework-plugin-varianter-yaml-to-mux 98.0 requires avocado-framework==98.0, but you have avocado-framework 101.0 which is incompatible.
   avocado-framework-plugin-result-html 98.0 requires avocado-framework==98.0, but you have avocado-framework 101.0 which is incompatible.
   make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/berrange/src/virt/qemu/build'

so the requirements should use a ">=" constraint and the versions of
Avocado and pycdlib should be limited to what distros provide
in the system packages.  Only Fedora has Avocado, and more specifically
version 92.0, while the following distros have pycdlib:

   CentOS Stream 8             1.11.0
   CentOS Stream 9             1.11.0
   Fedora 37                   1.13.0
   Fedora 38                   1.14.0
   Ubuntu 22.04                1.11.0
   Debian bookworm             1.12.0

So the current minimal versions specified by tests/requirements.txt are
okay.  Move them to the check-venv target and add the corresponding
constraints to python/tests/minreqs.txt as well.
