This patch fixes compilation/linking of python third-party extensions, i.e.
Extensions that ship with C code.
Problem:
Python uses distutils(-native) to compile third-party extensions. distutils
uses its own sysconfig module to get the options for compiling and linking.
Since third-party extensions have to be linked against this libpython it
important that -L points into staging. This is not the case because
distutils.sysconfig uses a special Makefile that is shipped with python
determine the paths. The Makefile is the same that would be used on the
target to build third-party extensions. It therefore points into /usr/lib
instead of staging.
Solution:
Stage a modified version of the Makefile where the paths (incdir, libdir) have
been replaced by ones that point into staging.
Side-problem:
The recipe actually should not stage files itself in do_compile, but rather
handle everything that needs to be staged in do_install. This is currently not
possible because python compiles itself using distutils-native. Distutils on
the other hand does only allow to add a path, but not to substitute it,
requiring a staged Makefile and libpython.so before the actual python
compilation is triggered.
The second step to solve this would be to either patch distutils, or split
python into python-initial and python. The -initial part could create the
Makefile and the library, while the main part focuses on the target.

The new bash logging class provides bbnote, bbwarn, bbfatal, and bbdebug
replacements (as well as bbplain and bberror) for the oe* equivalents. Use the
new bb* API in preparation to delete the oe* logging API.

Fix failues of LSB python-runtime tests.
test_largefile: add "ac_cv_sizeof_off_t=8" option explicitly into configure options in order to enable "LFS".
test_codecs, test_re, test_unicode: "--with-wctype-functions" will cause these tests failed, so remove it for LSB.
test_builtin, test_getargs: "sitecustomize.py" cause default encoding changed from "ascii" into "utf8" and it will cause these tests failed, so remove this file for LSB.
