Currently, the python3-package.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
python3-package.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 python3-package.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.

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.

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

The target's PYTHON3_INC_DIR should take precedence over the host's
include dir when cross-compiling.

Seems that this allows some goofs, because some files
silently do not get copied and the build succeeds, even though
it shouldn't.

Seems that if you add a package folder this would also
include the compiled python3 files which increases fw size.
