This release brings support for a `--venv` execution mode to complement
`--unzip` and standard unadorned PEX zip file execution modes. The
`--venv` execution mode will first install the PEX file into a virtual
environment under `${PEX_ROOT}/venvs` and then re-execute itself from
there. This mode of execution allows you to ship your PEXed application
as a single zipfile that automatically installs itself in a venv and
runs from there to eliminate all PEX startup overhead on subsequent runs
and work like a "normal" application.
There is also support for a new resolution mode when building PEX files
that allows you to use the results of a previous resolve by specifying
it as a `-pex-repository` to resolve from. If you have many applications
sharing a requirements.txt / constraints.txt, this can drastically speed
up resolves.
