Add option to circumvent the pip issue ''

[tribbloid]

This issue:

pypa/pip#562

Has prevented -e/--editable option to be used by pip install

Unfortunately for URL repo this is the only option, otherwise will trigger:

piptools.exceptions.UnsupportedConstraint: pip-compile does not support URLs as packages, unless they are editable. Perhaps add -e option? 

Environment Versions

OS Type: Ubuntu 18.04
Python version: Python 3.6.7 :: Anaconda, Inc.
pip version: pip 19.0.1 from /home/shared/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pip (python 3.6)
pip-tools version: pip-compile, version 3.3.2

Steps to replicate

1. in requirements.in, add the following line

-e git+https://github.com/dronekit/dronekit-python.git@ed132c#egg=dronekit

2. run pip-compile

Expected result

generate a requirements file without -e option

Actual result

a requirements file with -e option
