The only difference just a parameter for Python3
[ -b to compile bytecodes in legacy mode ].
No need to keep 2 almost identical files now
that they're exported.
I'm a bit scared of that param, since it may get
removed at some point.
But let's see until then.

Since `lang/python` is it's own folder of Python packages
(for both Python 2 & 3), and these build rules are needed
in a lot of packages [especially Python packages],
putting them here makes sense architecturally,
to be shared.
This also helps get rid of the `include_mk` construct
which relies on OpenWrt core to provide, and seems
like a broken design idea that has persisted for a while.
Reason is: it requires that Python 2/3 be built to provide
these mk files for other Python packages,
which seems like a bad idea.
Long-term, there could be an issue where some other feeds
would require these mk files [e.g. telephony] for
some Python packages.
We'll see how we handle this a bit later.
For now we limit this to this feed.

To install Python packages host side, that
may be needed for a build.
The intent, is to try to reduce host-side Python
packages being installed via LEDE/OpenWrt build system.
Because those seem like a pain to maintain.
The idea is adapted from Yousong's `python-packages`
package.

Similar to LEDE/OpenWrt's Build/Compile/Default rule,
and other similarities like this.
This should allow Python packages to define
PyBuild/Compile rules to do specific stuff per
package.
The advantage of using these (over just overriding
Build/Compile) is the VARIANT mechanism that is
in place to support packaging both for Python & Python3.
So, PyBuild/Compile will get picked up for the Python
variant build, and Py3Build/Compile will get picked
up for the Python3 variant build.

I admit this may be be a bit aggressive, but the lang
folder is getting cluttered/filled up with Python, PHP, Perl,
Ruby, etc. packages.
Makes sense to try to group them into per-lang folders.

Well, they're not yet compiled, but in the next commit
they should be.
People have been complaining [citation needed] to me
via email or via Github that Python's performance is crap
because it packages sources directly and they're not compiled.
And Python has to compile the sources on each run, and
on-the-fly.
Allowing compilation caching is also a no-no, because
I'll get complaints that the flash storage fills up
whenever a Python app runs.
So, to give the user a choice, the new de-facto packaging
for Python packages will be:
* ship compiled + [ preferably ] optimized files
* package sources separately
The problem is that this doubles the number of packages
in LEDE/OpenWrt, but build-times should not suffer a big
hit, since the compilation is done once, and the
install phase should not be too intensive.
Oh, and people don't need ship source packages if
they don't want to.
To do that, a packager needs to just call
`$(eval $(call BuildPackage,python-<package>-src))`
The `python-` prefix is important.

Most python packages use the same build rules & vars.
So, adding them in python-package.mk.
Also, preparing for using VARIANTs for python/python3 packages.

The sets host Python's prefix and exec-prefix to the same value
($(STAGING_DIR)/host for packages, as currently defined in
include/host-build.mk), which avoids the case where pyconfig.h is
not in the same location as Python's other header files (see
https://bugs.python.org/issue896330).
This also removes some cross compilation workarounds
(_python_sysroot/prefix/exec_prefix, disabling byte-compilation,
__PYVENV_LAUNCHER__) that are not necessary when compiling packages
for host.

That means basically moving the host Python from $(STAGING_DIR_HOST)

python-package.mk now defines (extends) CONFIGURE_ARGS that are
adjusting PREFIX and EXEC_PREFIX in distutils.sysconfig during
compilation. These variables are sometimes used by autotools to detect
path to Python header files. Adding these variables to python-package.mk
fixes compilation of legacy autotools-configured packages that already
include python-package.mk and do not overwrite CONFIGURE_ARGS.

Packetize some Python modules to reduce size of the overall Python package.
Basically, a new package is introduced, call `python-light`,
and everything that's extra (or big) is put in other packages.
The `python` package becomes a metapackage that installs `python-light`
along with the rest of the packages.
Base work started by Jan Čermák.

This mostly helps to avoid confusion when modules are cross-compiled.
Otherwise build folders are named with the host's platform name.
