python: add Makefile for some common tasks
Add "make venv" to create the pipenv-managed virtual environment that contains our explicitly pinned dependencies. Add "make check" to run the python linters [in the host execution environment]. Add "make venv-check" which combines the above two: create/update the venv, then run the linters in that explicitly managed environment. Add "make develop" which canonizes the runes needed to get both the linting pre-requisites (the "[devel]" part), and the editable live-install (the "-e" part) of these python libraries. make clean: delete miscellaneous python packaging output possibly created by pipenv, pip, or other python packaging utilities make distclean: delete the above, the .venv, and the editable "qemu" package forwarder (qemu.egg-info) if there is one.
