PerfTiger119 hitting errors when importing azure.storage.blob

[LoopedBard3]

PerfTiger119 appears to be hitting errors importing azure.storage.blob:

Traceback (most recent call last):

ValueError: source code string cannot contain null bytes

This is being seen only on this machine so far and can be found in the failing micro runs in these two pipeline runs:

Taking it out of rotation so we can more fully investigate and to get the few runs green again. (dotnet/dnceng#2977)

This is now fixed. Somehow the python install on PERFTIGER119 is corrupted with whole packages inside site-packages missing important metadata files and source files being replaced with null bytes. All pip commands that attempted to reinstall these packages were failing because of the missing metadata. With #4339 merged we are now correctly using the python venv so the runs won't break if the machine has any issues with the global site packages.
