Reviewers

In order to simplify installation, we'll be distributing the Review
Board installer as a single file, able to be run using curl | python.

To do this, we'll be distributing the primary installer as a
booststrapping Python script that contains an embedded copy of the
installer's wheel. The bootstrapping installer sets up a temporary
virtualenv (using python -m venv), installs the package within that,
and then runs it. This ensures we can run in a stable environment.

scripts/pack.sh is responsible for building the bootstrap installer
and the wheel, and then embedding the wheel within the bootstrap
installer.

Successfully built the installer and ran it in all supported Linux
distributions.
