Joe McDonnell 60f8f87b09 IMPALA-10274: Initialize impala-python as part of the CMake build
Initializing the impala-python virtualenv takes a couple minutes,
so it is useful to do that in parallel to the rest of the build.
This moves the impala-python initialization to its own step
in the CMake build. It stops using impala-python for commands
invoked from buildall.sh or the CMake build to avoid premature
or concurrent initializations of impala-python. Then, it adds
a dedicated step to initialize impala-python.

Testing:
 - Ran a core job and a couple builds
 - Rebuilt and verified that impala-python is not reinitialized
   if it is already initialized

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.
