When you run a functional test in verbose mode you will often see this line:

The --no-wheel and --wheel options are deprecated. They have no effect for Python > 3.8 as wheel is no longer bundled in virtualenv.

I can't find exactly when this message was added to virtualenv, but it appears to have been around v20.13.0.

I am not removing this option from the _legacy_virtualenv code path, and instead just letting that code path be removed when we drop Python 3.9 support.
