As we are going to bump setuptools to a much newer version, the host
python needs to be built with support for unicodedata.

The host python always had --disable-unicodedata, regardless of the
corresponding configuration option BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON_UNICODEDATA.
Since the host python is used to byte-compile python modules, this meant
that such modules could not contain unicode strings. For example, following
statement in a python module:
print u"\N{SOLIDUS}"
would cause the byte-compilation to fail with message:
SyntaxError: ("(unicode error) \\N escapes not supported (can't load
unicodedata module)",
Instead, conditionally disable unicodedata based on
BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON_UNICODEDATA, also for the host python.
This fixes bug #6542 (https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=6542)

Even though jumping from 2.7.3 to 2.7.6 looks like a minor version
bump, it is in fact a fairly significant one, because a good number of
changes to help cross-compilation have been merged into Python
upstream. Therefore, most of our patches are affected by this change.
In detail, this commit:
* Renames all the patches to follow the naming convention of patches
in Buildroot: the patch file names should not have any version
number.
* The patches numbered above 100, that add configuration options to
disable certain modules of the Python standard library, are only
renamed and slightly adapted, they didn't change that much.
* The patches numbered below 100 are almost entirely rewritten: many
of the cross-compilation problems that used to exist in Python
2.7.3 no longer exist, and the number of remaining problems is
smaller, and can be fixed with smaller patches.

As a preparation to make the Python infrastructure support both Python
and Python 3, as well as the bump of Python 2 and 3, we need the
Python package to expose the Python module path in a variable called
PYTHON_PATH. It will be used by the following commits.

is enabled for the target, so these can go.

This finally removes the BR2_HAVE_DEVFILES option, that was used to
install/keep development files on target. With the recent migration of
the internal backend to the package infrastructure, we had anyway lost
the ability to build gcc for the target, and install the uClibc
development files on the target.

We already remove python2.7-config and the symbolic link
python-config, but we forgot to remove the python2-config symbolic
link.
Note that we can't use the <pkg>_CONFIG_SCRIPTS mechanism here because
python2.7-config is written in... Python, and doesn't follow the usual
syntax of <pkg>-config scripts. It takes the paths directly from
distutils.sysconfig.

Commit 3c90f75496 made Python use a
special ./configure command in order to avoid --enable-shared
--disable-static being passed, because it was causing issues when
building certain modules for a 64 bits system.
However, not having a shared libpython2.7 library for the host
prevents the libxml2 Python binding to get built.
So instead, we use the default configure command, but we add
--enable-static which is needed for Python to build correctly.
Note that we tested the build of Python on a 64 bits host as well as
the build of Python for a 64 bits target, and both went fine, with all
modules built properly.

distutils adds -L$LIBDIR (/usr/lib), breaking build of binary extensions.
Seen with netifaces, but other extensions may be affected as well.
