The package installation behavior in the code is unrestricted

[BACMiao]

Bug description
In the process of using MetaGPT's QaEngine, users can easily make the RunCode._install_requirements method download any dependency package through conversation. This could potentially allow malicious users to have the MetaGPT-deployed server download malicious dependency packages or change the versions of the dependencies required for the runtime environment.

Bug solved method
We recommend that MetaGPT provide a reminder to inform developers to restrict the Python environment, at the very least avoiding the use of the same Python environment that is running MetaGPT.
