Description
Support vendoring python packages.
It looks like ./mach vendor python <package> will give you an error "You need a version". After you give it a version e.g. ./mach vendor python package==3.6.0 it will go vendor it in-tree.
This means there isn't a lot of work for Updatebot to handle these.
- We need something to tell Updatebot to process this python package. Maybe an updatebot.txt file in third_party/python.
- We need to support ./mach vendor python package --check-for-updates to tell us what the latest version is. (Fetching the latest version from pypi I suppose?)
With those changes (and the associated changes to updatebot to support them) we ought to be able to start tracking python packages pretty easily.

Research direction
Start with components/mach_vendor.py and the ./mach vendor python command, then inspect third_party/python and the proposed updatebot.txt approach. Check how PyPI versions would be fetched for --check-for-updates. Done means Updatebot can process vendored Python packages and report their latest versions.
