lab-tools do not work on Rodete

Project Member Reported by dtor@chromium.org, Dec 12 2017 
Trying to build lab-tools on Rodete (Debian Stretch) does not result in working binaries.

1. Package libmysqlclient-dev is not available on Rodete. I tried installing default-libmysqlclient-dev and mysql-client packages, bit did not have much luck, even after adjusting PACKAGES in lab-tools/finish_update to refer to the new package name.

2. Compilation was failing with references to virtualenv not being available, I had to install it by hand.

It is possible to get lab tools working on Rodete (source: me), but requires some kludgery.

As you say, libmysqlclient is not on Rodete.  I don't remember clearly, but I believe I fixed this by copying  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmysqlclient.so.18.0.0 from a Goobuntu install to my Rodete install.  Definitely a kludge, but thank god for binary compatibility.

We should fix the libmysqlclient issue; even if we don't move our servers to Rodete, we can't expect all CrOS devs to stick to Goobuntu just to support this.

One avenue would be virtualenv, since I had specially recompiled the Python MySQLdb wheel to be portable vis a vis libmysqlcient.
