Is the `virtualenv` tool required?

See original GitHub issue

Hello,

I’m working to set up a development environment for octodns and I noticed that the virtualenv tool is required to run the bootstrap script.

According to https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/ , a subset of virtualenv’s features has been integrated in Python’s built in venv module. In particular, I can create a virtual environment with python3 -m venv env.

Would you accept a PR to replace the usage of virtualenv with python3 -m venv? It would be one less dependency needed to start using/developing octodns.

Looks like you submitted it standalone which is probably what I would have preferred, https://github.com/octodns/octodns/pull/797 has been merged.
