package/pkg-python: fix for per-package directories

With per-package directory support, Python external modules are
causing a problem: the _sysconfigdata.py module installed by the
Python interpreter contains a number of paths that are relative to the
current package per-package directory, i.e python or python3. For
example:

'BLDSHARED': '/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/per-package/python/host/bin/arm-linux-gcc -shared',
'CC': '/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/per-package/python/host/bin/arm-linux-gcc',
'CXX': '/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/per-package/python/host/bin/arm-linux-g++',
etc.

These paths are problematic, because it means that the wrong compiler
gets used when building external Python modules: instead of using the
compiler from the external Python module per-package host directory,
it uses the one from the 'python' or 'python3' per-package host
directory. Due to this, any native dependency needed by the external
Python module is not found, even though it is properly present in the
current package per-package directory.

Of course, the problem occurs with both target Python modules and host
Python modules.

To fix this, we simply rewrite those paths in _sysconfigdata.py before
building a Python package.

Interestingly, until now, the _sysconfidata.py that was used during
the build was the one from $(TARGET_DIR), which is a bit unusual: it
is more common to use files from $(STAGING_DIR) during the build
process. So this commit changes the PYTHON_PATH and PYTHON3_PATH
variables so that they point to $(STAGING_DIR), which makes the
_sysconfigdata.py fixup in $(STAGING_DIR) effective.

Fixes:

  http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/a24b0555fd4261b50dc3986635c30717d9cbe764/ (python-psycopg2)
  http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/080fa893e1b0e7a8c8a31ac1c98eb8871b97264d/ (python-alsaaudio)
  http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/79bc070f98d6d9d8ef78df12b248cdc7d0e405c3/ (python-lxml)
  and many more Python packages that use native code with a native library
