Pip's name key can now accept remote package address.

Summary:

Pip module would abort when name is a remote package address because
the module was expecting a version if ``=`` is part of the name value.

Furthermore, the pip module would require either name or requirement to
be a key, although the documentation table said neither was required.
The fact that one of them must be present is not documented in the
documentation leads to confusion. This commit added this fact as part
of description.

In this commit, we resolve the confusion by stating either ``name``
or ``requirement`` is needed. Next, if the user puts remote address
as the value of the ``name`` key, we will not use mirror. Lastly,
if the user uses the remote serivice address as the name of the
package and the user does not supply -e option in extra_vars
(which is the whole point of this commit), we will add -e to
 extra_vars so pip command can run with -e option.
