Before, when a new package or updated version was needed for Engine, we
would have to manually update requirements.txt and ensure that any
required version bumps were taken care of manually.
With this patch, we can rely on pip-tools and its two commands:
pip-compile and pip-sync to automatically generate our requirements
files from our new .in files. The biggest advantage of this is that
the requirements files are set in stone (i.e. all versions are set with
==) and ensures that all dependencies are enumerated and that
appropriate versions are installed.
The README was also updated with steps on how to setup a virtual
environment with the pip-tools package and how to update those
packages when needed.
