Joe McDonnell 7b502f7c96 IMPALA-12240: Put gcc on the PATH when building the impala-python venv
On some systems, we have seen the build for the impala-python
virtualenv refer to system gcc directly, even though we have
specified Impala toolchain's gcc via CC. When the system gcc
is newer than Impala's gcc, it fails to execute because it needs
symbols that are not present in Impala's libstdc++:

gcc: /home/joe/impala/toolchain/toolchain-packages-gcc10.4.0/gcc-10.4.0/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.29' not found (required by gcc)

This adds the toolchain gcc to the PATH when building the impala-python
virtualenv. This means that any direct reference to gcc will use our
compiler rather than system gcc. We continue to have CC pointed to
our compiler.

Testing:
 - Ran a build on Redhat 9 where the issue presented

To install new packages:

1) Add your package to deps/requirements.txt, or deps/compiled-requirements.txt if the
   the package needs a C/C++ compiler to build . You should specify the version number
   using the "foo == x.y.z" notation so future upgrades can be done automatically.
2) Run deps/download_requirements, it will download the package to the deps dir.
3) Run the "impala-python" command, this should detect that requirements.txt changed and
   automatically rebuild the virtualenv.
4) Now in the python prompt, you should be able to import the new module.

To upgrade a package:

1) Edit deps/requirement.txt to use the version you need.
2) Go to step 2 above.
