bpo-42856: Add --with-wheel-pkg-dir=PATH configure option (GH-24210)
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.
