Subject: [PATCH v2 03/12] ci: temporarily install a 32-bit Python in the
 32-bit job

TEMPORARY: This patch can be dropped from the patchset once
https://github.com/anarazel/pg-vm-images/pull/144 is merged and the 32bit
job switches to the native i386 image it adds. For now this installs a
32bit python interpreter on every run so that we can run tests using a
32bit python interpreter against our 32bit postgres/libpq build in CI.
