Feature or enhancement

venv.EnvBuilder.ensure_directories should set libpath as an attribute in the return value.

Pitch

Currently, the value is not exposed in any way via the venv API. This means that API users of venv (ahem... pip) need to recompute this information, coupling strongly to the implementation details of this module.

I noticed this as part of working on pip's build isolation logic, which I'm trying to port to venv.
