Attachment: Bug 1718156 - Avoid some configure tests creating the common virtualenv.

When running mach python-test on a clobbered tree, we create both the
python-test and common virtualenvs, but the former should be enough. The
latter is only created when running tests that use the BaseConfigureTest
class, when it indirectly includes init.configure, which makes the
configure sandbox run the virtualenv_python3 function, which ends up
initializing the common virtualenv. We only don't end up re-executing
that virtualenv python thanks to 6680ca0acc27 which was a workaround
that would allow any virtualenv in $objdir/_virtualenvs, while still
creating a virtualenv it won't use.

Tests now tell virtualenv_python3 to not use the normal virtualenv
manager, and remove the workaround.
