Check for and install easy_install

On Ubuntu 14.04 at least, easy_install is not present by default.
We need to check for it, and if its not there, add it so we can
install pip.  Added a comment block noting the bug and rationale
for using the package manager to get a baseline setuptools.

# To install python packages, we need pip.
#
# We can't use the apt packaged version of pip since
# older versions of pip are incompatible with
# requests, one of our indirect dependencies (bug 1459947).
#
# So we use easy_install to install pip.
#
# But we may not have easy_install; if that's the case,
# our bootstrap's bootstrap is to use apt to install
# python-setuptools to get easy_install.
