Update rules that update chpl-venv's install to blow away the dir (#28746)
[reviewed by @jabraham17]
Without this — as I understand it — what would happen is that when
requirements were updated, the new requirements would be added to the
existing directory, and things like chpldoc would use the first version
found, which wouldn't necessarily be the latest. This resulted in things
like chpldoc using version 0.0.40 of the Chapel Sphinx domain when I had
version 0.0.41 installed and listed in the requirements file, requiring
developers to manually remove the directory to get the latest version /
not get testing failures, which felt like a common annoyance.
