Modify the iotests environment preparation so that it can detect when it
is being run outside of the configure-time virtual environment and give
a warning to the user, suggesting the use of the meson run script
instead.
As a bonus, since the test executor itself does not actually rely on
anything in the configure-time venv in and of itself, it is possible to
just modify the python executable it uses for launching tests to be the
correct, configured venv that has access to qemu.qmp and other test
dependencies.

=== This is the QEMU I/O test suite ===
* Intro
This package contains a simple test suite for the I/O layer of qemu.
It does not require a guest, but only the qemu, qemu-img and qemu-io
binaries. This does limit it to exercise the low-level I/O path only
but no actual block drivers like ide, scsi or virtio.
* Usage
Just run ./check to run all tests for the raw image format, or ./check
-qcow2 to test the qcow2 image format. The output of ./check -h explains
additional options to test further image formats or I/O methods.
* Feedback and patches
Please send improvements to the test suite, general feedback or just
reports of failing tests cases to qemu-devel@nongnu.org with a CC:
to qemu-block@nongnu.org.
