python: add devel package requirements to setuptools
setuptools doesn't have a formal understanding of development requires,
but it has an optional feataures section. Fine; add a "devel" feature
and add the requirements to it.
To avoid duplication, we can modify pipenv to install qemu[devel]
instead. This enables us to run invocations like "pip install -e
.[devel]" and test the package on bleeding-edge packages beyond those
specified in Pipfile.lock.
Importantly, this also allows us to install the qemu development
packages in a non-networked mode: `pip3 install --no-index -e .[devel]`
will now fail if the proper development dependencies are not already
met. This can be useful for automated build scripts where fetching
network packages may be undesirable.
