Hi Mattijs,

Recent Ubuntu versions (24.04+) disallow pip by default when
installing packages. The recommended approach is to use a virtual
environment (venv) instead.
Because of this, "make pip" is failing on such versions.

To prepare CI container migration to Ubuntu 24.04, use a venv in the
make_pip script.

This has been tested in docker on ubuntu:24.04 after running:
$ apt install python3 python3-venv

with:
$ ./scripts/make_pip.sh u_boot_pylib "-n"

And shows:
Successfully built u_boot_pylib-0.0.6.tar.gz and 
u_boot_pylib-0.0.6-py3-none-any.whl

Also tested with "$ make pip".

Do we want to make sure there are no leftovers from previous runs? If so, maybe add --clear here?

Maybe you want this in a trap so that if we exit early (which may happen due to the script doing `set -e`), we're out of the venv?

And I tested otherwise, with:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

and it seems that once I exit the script it's deactivated anyways?

So, I guess no need for the trap or the deactivate, but we can play it safe and still have it :)

Cheers,
Quentin
