Attachment: Bug 1675707 - Allow not to activate the virtualenv when running mach python.

This allows PATH not to be altered such that python would resolve to
the virtualenv python.

Attachment: Bug 1675707 - Don't activate the virtualenv when running mozharness.

When the virtualenv is activated, subprocesses of mozharness inherit the
PATH that it sets, making plain python resolve to the virtualenv python,
which is actually not desirable for builds.

Ideally, we'd avoid creating a virtualenv for mozharness entirely,
especially considering it creates its own, and then the build creates
yet another one, but that doesn't work because of PYTHONPATH interfering
with the build virtualenv.
