This change adds a patch to python disabling the installation of the
python and python-config symlinks.
This allows Buildroot to control these symlinks' installation:
* the python symlink should be unconditionally installed in the target
tree, and the python-config symlink in the staging tree, since it is
only built and installed in the target tree if the user selected it;
* the python and python-config symlinks should only be installed in
the host tree when python(2) is the selection of the user for the
target.
Otherwise, when python3 is selected for the target, the host-python
may be required to built some packages. In such cases, the python
symlink should points to python3 (so should the python-config
symlink) to reflect the staging/target tree.
[Thomas: fix comments according to Yann's suggestions, and replaced
python(2) by python2, as suggested by Yann.]

During installation, host-python and host-python3 run the freshly built
python executable. This is done with a proper LD_LIBRARY_PATH to make
sure it picks up the libpython in the build directory. However, the
python binary has an RPATH pointing to the $(HOST_DIR)/usr/lib.
Therefore, if libpython exists there, it will be used instead.
If the install step is run in parallel, it is possible that libpython
is already partially copied to $(HOST_DIR)/usr/lib when python is run.
This gives an error like:
python: error while loading shared libraries: $(HOST_DIR)/usr/lib/libpython3.4m.so.1.0: file too short
The fix is simple: use RUNPATH instead of RPATH, which allows
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to override RUNPATH. That way, the libpython in the
build directory is always used. RUNPATH is enabled by passing
--enable-new-dtags to the linker.

A confusion was made when applying commit
c3d539b53f ('host python/python3:
conditionally disable unicodedata') and then commit
73293e88c8 ('python, python3: enable
unicodedata for host-python, needed by setuptools').
The first commit added the enabling of unicodedata in the host Python
when the target Python is configured with unicodedata, which is
necessary because building the target unicodedata Python module
requires having unicodedata support in the host Python.
The second commit enabled the unicodedata unconditionally in the host
Python, because it is needed by host-setuptools.
However, when the second commit was applied, the logic that consisted
in disabling unicodedate in the host Python when not needed was kept,
which resulted in breaking the build of host-setuptools due to the
lack of unicodedata support in the host python.
This commit fixes that by only leaving the unconditional
--enable-unicodedata in the host Python configuration options, and
therefore removing the problematic conditional --disable-unicodedata.

The host python always had --disable-unicodedata, regardless of the
corresponding configuration option BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON_UNICODEDATA.
Since the host python is used to byte-compile python modules, this meant
that such modules could not contain unicode strings. For example, following
statement in a python module:
print u"\N{SOLIDUS}"
would cause the byte-compilation to fail with message:
SyntaxError: ("(unicode error) \\N escapes not supported (can't load
unicodedata module)",
Instead, conditionally disable unicodedata based on
BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON_UNICODEDATA, also for the host python.

Even though jumping from 2.7.3 to 2.7.6 looks like a minor version
bump, it is in fact a fairly significant one, because a good number of
changes to help cross-compilation have been merged into Python
upstream. Therefore, most of our patches are affected by this change.
In detail, this commit:
* Renames all the patches to follow the naming convention of patches
in Buildroot: the patch file names should not have any version
number.
* The patches numbered above 100, that add configuration options to
disable certain modules of the Python standard library, are only
renamed and slightly adapted, they didn't change that much.
* The patches numbered below 100 are almost entirely rewritten: many
of the cross-compilation problems that used to exist in Python
2.7.3 no longer exist, and the number of remaining problems is
smaller, and can be fixed with smaller patches.

This commit improves the cross-compilation patches we have on top of
Python, to fix the problem of host library paths leaking into the
build of target modules, as seen at:
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/fcc/fccd7e08cd9d4713eb4208097dd48c5ab25749bc/build-end.loghttp://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/0bd/0bda780bf4b759b12edec26ac20b88cde617db4d/build-end.log
To do so, it ensures that the right python2.7/config/Makefile is used
when building target modules, and adjusts at runtime the paths read
from this Makefile if we are cross-compiling.
In addition, it installs the pgen program into the host directory, and
points the target python build to use python and pgen from $(HOST_DIR)
instead of from the host python source directory, which looks cleaner.

Commit 3c90f75496 made Python use a
special ./configure command in order to avoid --enable-shared
--disable-static being passed, because it was causing issues when
building certain modules for a 64 bits system.
However, not having a shared libpython2.7 library for the host
prevents the libxml2 Python binding to get built.
So instead, we use the default configure command, but we add
--enable-static which is needed for Python to build correctly.
Note that we tested the build of Python on a 64 bits host as well as
the build of Python for a 64 bits target, and both went fine, with all
modules built properly.

This commit does a number of changes and improvements to the Python
interpreter package :
* It converts the .mk file to the AUTOTARGETS infrastructure. Even
though Python uses only autoconf and not automake, the AUTOTARGETS
is a fairly good fit for the Python interpreter, so we make use of
it.
* It bumps the version to 2.7.1. As this is a minor release compared
to 2.7, there are no particular changes needed because of this
bump. All changes done to the package are cleanups and improvements
unrelated to the version bump.
* It uses the system libffi. Until now, Python was building its own
libffi (a library used by interprets to build code that makes
function call at runtime). Using the Python internal libffi was not
working as Python was not passing the appropriate arguments down to
libffi ./configure script. And it sounded better to use a
system-wide libffi, that could potentially be used by other
packages as well. This libffi is needed for the ctypes Python
module.
* Remove all "depends on BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON" by moving all
Python-related options under a "if BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON ... endif"
condition.
* Make the installation of pre-compiled Python modules (.pyc) the
default, since they are smaller and do not need to be compiled on
the target. It is still possible to install uncompiled modules, or
both the uncompiled and pre-compiled versions.
* The options to select the set of Python modules to compile has been
moved to a submenu.
* The codecscjk (Japanese, Korean and Chinese codecs) module is no
longer enabled by default.
* The commented options for gdbm and nis in Python have been
removed. Those were not supported, so let's get rid of unused code.
* The option for the tkinker module in Python has been removed, since
we don't have a package for Tk in Buildroot.
* Options for the bzip2, sqlite and zlib modules have been added,
since those modules have external dependencies.
* The set of patches has been completely reworked and extended, with
more fine-grained patches and newer functionalities. The patches
are split in two categories:
- Patches that make various modifications to the Python build
system to support cross-compilation or make some minor
modifications. Those patches are numbered from 0 to 100.
- Patches that add configuration options to the Python build
system in order to enable/disable the compilation of Python
extensions or modules (test modules, pydoc, lib2to3, sqlite, tk,
curses, expat, codecs-cjk, nis, unicodedata, database modules,
ssl, bzip2, zlib). These patches are numbered from 100 to 200.
All features of the previous four patches are preserved, but they
are organized differently and the patches have been renamed. This
makes it difficult to see the differences from the existing
patches.
* The host Python interpreter is now installed in $(HOST_DIR), since
it is used to build third party Python modules.
* The BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON_DEV option is removed since
BR2_HAVE_DEVFILES already does the necessary work.
* The "make -i install" workaround introduced by Maxime Ripard is no
longer needed. It was caused by the compilation of the tests that
required the unicodedata module (which wasn't built in the host
Python interpreter). Since we no longer compile the Python tests,
the problem doesn't exist anymore and we can avoid this "-i"
option.
