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.

Python comes with it's own builtin libffi lib, which
seems easier to use for the host build, than trying
to use the one from the package feeds.

As both LEDE and OpenWrt have STAGING_DIR_HOSTPKG now, we can start to rely
on it. See 73b7f55424 for more information on
STAGING_DIR_HOSTPKG.
STAGING_DIR_HOSTPKG won't actually be changed before the first LEDE release
(it is equivalent to $(STAGING_DIR)/host), so this simple search/replace
cleanup is safe to apply. Doing this cleanup now will be useful for the
Gluon project (an OpenWrt/LEDE based firmware framework) for experimenting
with modifying STAGING_DIR_HOSTPKG before doing this in the LEDE upstream.
Also fixes a typo in the dbus Makefile ("STAGIND_DIR").

libressl is built on the host-side.
Python picks it up [ via the openssl/* headers ] and assumes
it has SSL libs.
Compiling works fine, linking fails.

And apparently `--with-system-ffi` does not take any arguments.
But it's only in Python 3.6 that a check was added for that.
After checking, Python 2.7 does not take any args either
for `--with-system-ffi` ; so, remove it [for the case when this
change may get backported].

Move the python-host.mk and python-package.mk includes after the definition of
common package variables. This is required to ensure that PKG_UNPACK is not set
to to the dummy "true" command which happens if PKG_SOURCE is not yet set.
Fixes the following error observed while attempting to build Python on a recent
LEDE version:

Allows for more granularity with respect to python-host.mk
and python-package.mk inclusions.

So that it can be included twice.
python-package.mk include python-host.mk, but at some point
in time python-host.mk is not exported to staging_dir yet.
So, to have in python's Makefile, we need to include it
in the Makefile, and to prevent double inclusion (if
python-host.mk is exported from a previous build), the
include guard is added.
Also, moved the includes after some vars were set.

Currently, the python-host.mk framework relies on HOST_BUILD_PREFIX to
refer to the $(STAGING_DIR)/host directory but using the HOST_BUILD_PREFIX
variable requires the use of include/host-build.mk which in turn includes
python-host.mk, leading to target redefinition errors.
In order to provide a global, uniform way to refer to the host staging
directory, LEDE introduced a new variable STAGING_DIR_HOSTPKG which points
to $(STAGING_DIR)/host for now with the purpose of eventually being able to
relocate that directory in the future.
This commit changes python-host.mk to ...
- stop including include/host-build.mk (revert of #3423)
- replace usages of $(HOST_BUILD_PREFIX) with $(STAGING_DIR_HOSTPKG)
- warn and fallback to $(STAGING_DIR)/host if STAGING_DIR_HOSTPKG is
unavailable
The fallback code will ensure that the python host build infrastructure
continues to work properly on older OpenWrt and LEDE versions until the
STAGING_DIR_HOSTPKG is fully settled in and can be removed some time
in the future.

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.
