[self testsuite] testpep561.py::PEP561Suite tests fail against pip 21.3

[stanislavlevin]

As of 21.3 pip

Remove the --build-dir option and aliases, one last time. (pypa/pip#10485)

https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/news/#v21-3

So, all the tests in test/testpep561.py::PEP561Suite fail.

Similar issue pip issue: pypa/pip#10576
Actually, -b was no-op for over 1 year.

As a trick env variable PIP_BUILD may be used, which is just ignored by new pip 21.3 and honored by previous versions, but it seems -b is not needed.

Thanks for catching that! I made #11356 to fix this.
