Install additional pip dependencies in the agent env

If you wrote a custom check with a pip dependencies not included with the agent, this is the right place.

Warning: if the pip module you want to add has a requirement conflicting with the agent requirements, pip won't respect the agent requirements. For instance if the new module has a requirement requests>=2.10.0 whereas the agent is shipped with requests==2.9.0, pip install will also upgrade requests to the latest version, which may break the agent.

Unix systems
