  1. feat(pypi): fallback to virtualenv if venv fails

    On Ubuntu 22.04 when the `python3-venv` package is not installed:
    
    * Importing the `venv` module will succeed.
    * Running `python3 -m venv --help` will output help.
    * Running `python3 -m venv $VENV_DIR` fails with the following output:
    
    ```console
    $ python3 -m venv $VENV_DIR
    The virtual environment was not created successfully because ensurepip is not
    available.  On Debian/Ubuntu systems, you need to install the python3-venv
    package using the following command.
    
        apt install python3.10-venv
    
    You may need to use sudo with that command.  After installing the python3-venv
    package, recreate your virtual environment.
    
    Failing command: /root/venv/bin/python3
    ```
    
    When running in a rootless environment installing the `python3-venv`
    package is not tenable. However, the `virtualenv` package can be
    installed via `pip` in the users home directory.
    
    This patch checks the result of `python3 -m venv $VENV_DIR`, if that
    fails then it will fallback to calling `python3 -m virtualenv $VENV_DIR`
    instead.
