Build depends must refer to the source package name, not the binary one,
therefore we need to use `bzip2` in order to enforce a build of libbz2.so.
Also make the host python build depend on the bzip2 host build in order to
ensure that host python is built with bzip2 support. We don't need a build
dependency for the target python as this already depends on +libbz2 through
python-light. That package dependency in turn implies a build dependency.

Patch removing multiarch paths from build should be applied only when
Python is built for target, but not for host. When the paths are removed
during host build, host python throws some ugly errors when importing
some hashlib modules. Also it reports that modules crypt and nis failed
to build (tested on Ubuntu 14.04 host).

Seems removing the PyPackage rule and/or adding dummy install rule
causes some issues inside the build-system, where the libpython2.7.so.1.0
is not seen by packages that depend on python.
Even though that libpython2.7.so.1.0 file is installed properly by `python-base`.

Calling `PyPackage` will install some default install rules for
python packages that are not required for the `python` package specifically
are not required.
That will lead to some conflicts with `python-light` because the
`/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages` folder (+contents) will be
available in both packages.

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 module is not necessary in OpenWrt because the functionality it
provides (i.e. installation of setuptools and PIP) is ensured by
python-pip and python-setuptools packages.

Python packs some pip installation script during the build,
which looks like a better idea to use for the python-pip
and/or python-setuptools packages.

Some symbols are not found (tgetnum and BC).
Looks like the termcap lib, which should be in libncurses(w)
but maybe some build param would be required.

Redefine python-full as all-pages-minus-a-few-that-don't make sense.
Remove all other packages.

This fix is quite critical since it fixes copying the libpython shared lib.
The previous source folder we've used is ok, it has the shared lib,
but libpython2.7.so is not a symlink of libpython2.7.so.1.0, but
rather a copy of it.
Which means that libpython2.7.so takes twice as much space
on the target's flash.

Python's build scripts prefer ncursesw, and if it is detected
it will be used.
The problem will occur when linking, since ncursesw libs may not be
installed if not added as deps, but the sources will be compiled
against ncursesw.
Reference from Python's HISTORY file:
Patch #1428494: Prefer linking against ncursesw over ncurses library.

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.

According to PEP394 (http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/)
the 'python' command should refer to 'python2'.
In our case, this means we should reboot the old python package.
We could rename the package name to python2, but that would
just complicate things a bit with other packages, and
since we're doing this reboot, such a complication would be
unnecessary.

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:
http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3149/
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.
