python: improve isolation of build environment and error handling

This commit mainly fixes bug #7268 by improving the isolation of
the build environment by making sure some host environment header
paths do not leak into the target build. The investigation was done by
David <buildroot-2014@inbox.com>. This is done by not calling the
add_multiarch_paths() function of setup.py when we're cross-compiling,
a change made in the newly introduced
python-013-dont-add-multiarch-path.patch.

In addition to this, another patch is added to make sure the build is
aborted when one of the Python module fails to build. This is done in
python-014-abort-on-failed-modules.patch. Without this, the Python
setup.py script simply logs which module failed to build, but doesn't
abort, so it's hard to notice when there is a problem.
