tests: switch to using pip (as a module) in test-version-install.t

Let's switch to using pip to install the extensions to avoid a
SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning about running setup.py directly. This also avoids
the warning about python_requires apparently.

The "running as root" warning cannot be simply avoided by using a different CI
image. We do have v2.1 images that default to ci-runner user, but no one
forbids people from running the test locally as a root user, one way or
another. Running pip as root shouldn't matter in this case, since it's not a
real system install, so this particular warning is always irrelevant.

This is the actual check list for releasing evolve version X.Y.Z

More details in the [README.rst file](README.rst#L219).
