package/ola: fix build against google.protobuf

To test for the google.protobuf presence, ola's ./conifgure runs the
host Python. This is doomed to fail, as google.protobuf is installed
in target/ and not in host/

Since our dependencies ensures that google.protobuf is indeed installed
before we attempt to configure and build ola, we can just ditch the
test altogether.

+configure: do not check for google.protobuf
+
+The check for google.protobuf is inherently flawed for cross-compilation,
+as it uses the host Python to check for target modules.
+
+In Buildroot, our dependencies ensures that google.protobuf is present
+by the time we configure and build ola, so we can just skip the test
+altogether.
+
+We don't need to fake the result of the test: it is used nowhere; the
+test is only here to fail or succeed.
