Extract subprocess.run logic repeated in test_installation

This creates a function (technically, a callable `partial` object)
for `test_installation` to use instead of repeating `subproces.run`
keyword arguments all the time.

This relates directly to steps in `_set_up_venv`, and it's makes
about as much sense to do it there as in `test_installation`, so it
is placed (and described) in `_set_up_venv`.
