Use --break-system-packages on Alpine

[kripken]

The error mentions that might fix things... but I have no idea what it does.

Background: The error began just now on multiple PRs, #6166 and #6165

[kripken]

Doesn't seem to work...

./alpine.sh pip3 install -r --break-system-packages requirements-dev.txt
[..]
error: externally-managed-environment
[..]
note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or
OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python
installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.

🤔

Side note, I wonder if this flag is a shorthand for --move-fast-and-break-system-packages

@sbc100 I think you might know about this stuff perhaps?

The -r flag needs to come before requirements-dev.txt I think .. so maybe put --break-system-packages before -r

Thanks @sbc100 , that worked.

Landing now to unbreak other PRs. If there is a better solution we can replace it later.

This is the same thing we all had to do on our development machines recently, so lgtm.
