Validate absolute python paths

This makes it easier for someone to realize when they have provided an
invalid Python path without missing that message due to the sizable
virtualenv traceback which follows it. I first encountered this when
someone copy-and-pasted the example from the Conda documentation which
has `--python=/path/to/anaconda/python`.

See pypa#1862
