This avoids unecessary copies. This is a preparatory step to
reimplementing the extends algorithm. It may be that this breaks
the extends algorithm as it is currently implemented.

If slapos.libnetworkcache is importable, install it in bootstrap
as though it were a dependency of zc.buildout.

This is a hack to propagate libnetworkcache as a soft dependency.

If zc.buildout or its dependencies have pinned versions that do not
match the currently running versions, they are now installed in the
local eggs directory from scratch according to the pinned versions.

In offline mode this merely ensures that versions that satisfy the
requirements are already available. This is the case when the eggs
are already installed, or when the running versions are a match to
the pinned versions or the absence of a pinned version.

If after this matching versions of zc.buildout and its dependencies
are not located in the local eggs or develop-eggs directories, they
are copied there as was already the case before.

When generating an environment dict for subprocess calls to pip,
os.environ was accidentally modified despite efforts to copy it
and modify only the copy, as copy.copy(os.environ) is not enough.

Also update action/checkout version

in the dev environment

Also fixed virtualenv install under 2.7

* Make compatible with pip 22.2+, restoring Requires-Python functionality there.

Fixes https://github.com/buildout/buildout/issues/613.

Note: we are patching `process_url` from `setuptools`.
The existing comment says that this method was copied over from setuptools 46.1.3.
I was wondering, so I checked: the method is still the same in latest setuptools.  And it is largely unchanged since setuptools 42.0.2.
So for that part we should still be compatible with quite a long range of setuptools versions.

* process_url patch: must pass cache_link_parsing=False.

This fixes test failures: extdemo-1.5 was not found, because the previous index page containing only extdemo-1.4 was cached.
We were passing this before to HTMLPage, and still do as a fallback, but I missed that this was also needed in pip 22.2+ for the new IndexContent class.
