Well, this slipped by for some time.
This should make the Python core packages even more lighter.

Technically, this just updates build details.
No functionality change to package itself.
So, no need to increase PKG_RELEASE on this change.

Python 3.6 comes with some new cross-compilation logic that
generates filenames/paths with arch, abiflags and mach
included (in filename & path).
Problem is that the generated paths/filenames are not
consistent across archs (noticed on x86_64 & ar71xx),
so patch `016-adjust-config-paths.patch` was added
to mitigate this (by removing extra stuff in paths).

And move \`python3-package.mk\` include, same as in python package.
This is mostly to have consistency/similarity between python & python3
packages.

--sysconfigdir and --sbindir are obtained from --prefix
and --exec-prefix, so no need to have them explicitly

Also, override all prefix args in the HOST_CONFIGURE_ARGS
so that this works fine on CC/15.05.
There are some changes in core regarding package builds that
require this.

Python 3 prefers usage of wcsftime() over strftime() if it's available,
however this function returns just an empty string in some older
uClibc versions. Proposed solution disables detection of wcsftime() in
./configure that results in HAVE_WCSFTIME being undefined, effectively
disabling branches of code that use possibly broken wcsftime().

Some notes about the 'encodings' module, which is about 1.7 MB.
Unfortunately that one cannot be moved into the 'python3-codecs'
package, because Python tries to load up all available encodings
at startup.
Some efforts to add a dummy folder/python file have failed so far,
since there's a C code (Python/codecs.c) that tries to evaluate that
all encodings (in the encodings folder/module) are valid.
Basically the encodings module is a repository of encodings,
and it seemst there are quite a few of them.
Maybe a request to upstream Python would work for this, to
make encodings a bit more decoupled from the interpreter.

This will reduce the bloat when users will want to compile in their
Python C extensions.
There will be a initial bloat (several kb) if just Python
is installed, but that will be compensated when users will add more
C extensions.
During the build we also have to add Python's PKG_BUILD_DIR
so that the shared lib is found when compiling Python's
built-in C extensions.

Some notes:
- Python 3 (at least version 3.4) is pretty cross-compiler-friendly,
so a lot of patches were thrown away.
- Arguments below were moved to ./files/config.site file, and disabled
ac_cv_have_chflags=no \
ac_cv_have_lchflags=no \
ac_cv_py_format_size_t=no \
ac_cv_have_long_long_format=yes \
ac_cv_buggy_getaddrinfo=no \
- --without-ensurepip added, because the build wants to ensure that
it works; that's a good idea, but for now, it requires special
setup, and we can do that later
- --without-pymalloc added, becase in Python 3, modules are suffixed
with m; e.g. so some paths are python3.4m instead of python3.4
all this is detailed here:

Maybe it will be a good idea to re-add this back

Make python-mini the top-level and default Python package.
Make the other packages subpackages of the top-level python package.
Make old python package the python-full package.
Note: at this point, this package can be split/renamed to
python-legacy should anyone need Python 2. After this commit
it's going to be Python 3 all the way.
