switch_softwaretype: run software type buildout in same process

This way buildout can reuse egg caches and it's a bit faster:

To run a simple instance buildout, from 2.837s it goes down to 1.875s. To run slapos node instance 10 times just after requesting an ERP5 instance, it goes from ~112s to 98s
