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

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.

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

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.

Seems that the Python C extensions were being
(or at least trying to be) build using '/usr/include' as the first
include folder.
Seems this issue was already fixed on MacOS X and now we've extended
it for our case.

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.

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.

And also remove all other references to avoid confusion.
libnsl isn't really needed. Removing it allows glibc based
toolchains to build perl.

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.
