automation: install python3-venv Debian package Debian's python install has a crippled venv by default, as it is lacking ensurepip. When you try to run `python3 -m venv` it tells you to install `python3-venv`. So this commit does that in our automation environment so we can fully test installing Mercurial using venv+pip with the system Python. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7229

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
