Similar to #4657
Adds a helper that backs up a known good pip on the first invocation in a tox venv and replaces the installed version with that on every subsequent run. Arguably there's scope for improvement here by not replacing unless it might be broken but I'd consider that an optimization.
This change as it stands, means breaking pip horribly does not result in tox environments not being functional, which is an improvement.
