Support venv in ansible-test virtualenv scripts (#73164)

* ansible-test - prefer venv over virtualenv on Python 3 (#73000)

Also pin virtualenv to 16.7.10 for older Mac OS X systems. This was the version being installed
anway with the previous constraint (<20).

On systems with Python 3, now prefer venv over virtualenv. Test to see if venv is functional since
some systems have a non-functional venv installation (such as Debian).

(cherry picked from commit 850a77f6391cc09b7296e831877adcf4052f5404)
(cherry picked from commit a48b3d2089807ff0ab34ddacfcc90de49903d10e)

* Make the new ansible-test venv behavior opt-in
