Teach check-package to detect python files by type and check them using
flake8.
Do not use subprocess to call 'python3 -m flake8' in order to avoid too
many spawned shells, which in its turn would slow down the check for
multiple files. (make check-package takes twice the time using a shell
for each flake8 call, when compared of importing the main application)
Expand the runtime test and the unit tests for check-package.
Remove check-flake8 from the makefile and also from the GitLab CI
because the exact same checks become part of check-package.
