[docs] Add information on virtualenv

Many of the subcommands of the WPT CLI require the virtualenv utility,
but the installation instructions did not instruct contributors to
install it. Add an installation step describing how to install the
dependency.

This is intended to resolve gh-6565.

I initially wrote this patch to assume Python 2.7.9 since that would allow us to take the presence of Pip for granted. However, it seems like older (but still common) releases of macOS may bundle prior versions of Python. If that's the case, it seems better to add a potentially-unnecessary invocation of easy_install than to try to guide users on updating their system Python.
