Currently venvs created by Pex use the default creation mode of the venv or virtualenv module depending on which is used. The venv module supports forcing --copies or --symlinks for Python3.5+ and the virtualenv module we vendor supports --always-copy (there is no correspnding --always-symlink).

This was spurred by pantsbuild/pants#11531 where Pants could use the --copies mode once it solves internal speed problems with (re-)storing the contents of a venv.
