1. Switch from get-pip.py to ensurepip …

   Since:
   * All versions of Python that are actively built by this repo now
     include the `ensurepip` module.
   * The policy of these images is now to use the same pip version as the
     one bundled with `ensurepip` (rather than always upgrading as pip
     releases occur) to avoid breaking changes, and for parity with the
     `venv` module.
   * As such, we might as well actually use `ensurepip` to install pip
     (since it installs the exact pip version we want) rather than manually
     doing the same using `get-pip.py`.
   
   Now that the pip/setuptools versions track (or mostly track, in the case
   of setuptools) the ensurepip versions, the concerns over frequent
   invalidation of the Python layer no longer apply, and so the
   pip/setuptools install can now be part of the Python layer, reducing
   layer count by one.
   
   This change is a no-op in terms of pip/setuptools/wheel versions,
   since the pip versions being used already exactly matched the
   `ensurepip` version of pip.
   
   Closes docker-library#951.
