Add --with-wheel-pkg-dir=PATH option to the ./configure script. If
specified, the ensurepip module looks for setuptools and pip wheel
packages in this directory: if both are present, these wheel packages
are used instead of ensurepip bundled wheel packages.
Some Linux distribution packaging policies recommend against bundling
dependencies. For example, Fedora installs wheel packages in the
/usr/share/python-wheels/ directory and don't install the
ensurepip._bundled package.
ensurepip: Remove unused runpy import.
ensurepip optionally installs or upgrades 'pip' and 'setuptools' using
the version of those modules bundled with Python. The internal PIP
installation routine by default temporarily uses its cache, if it
exists. This is undesirable as Python builds and installations may be
independent of the user running the build, whilst PIP cache location
is dependent on the user's environment and outside of the build
environment.
At the same time, there's no value in using the cache while installing
bundled modules.
This change disables PIP caching when used in ensurepip.
The ensurepip module now invokes pip via the runpy module.
Hence it is no longer tightly coupled with the internal API of the bundled
pip version, allowing easier updates to a newer pip version both
internally and for distributors.
This way, any changes to the internal pip API won't mean ensurepip needs to be
changed as well. Also, distributors can update their pip wheels independent on
CPython release schedule.

* Add a space to ensurepip's --altinstall option
* Add periods to the arguments of ensurepip that didn't have it
This makes --help for all optional arguments consistent and also makes it
consistent with pip --help.
