Something like:
virtualenv.install_package('pip', installer='pip', upgrade=True)

Research direction
Start by locating the virtualenv.install_package entry point and how the pytest plugin currently installs packages. Trace the existing installer arguments, then add coverage for upgrading an already-present package with upgrade=True; done means the documented call works without changing the existing installation behavior.
