Currently we build the Python extension module from all the libfdt source
files as well as the swig wrapper file. This is a bit silly, since we've
already compiled libfdt itself.
This changes the build to instead build the extension module from just the
swig wrapper, linking it against the libfdt.a we've already build.

Our Makefile currently passes PYLIBFDT_objdir into setup.py in an attempt
to set the correct place to put the Python extension module output. But
that gets passed in the 'package_dir' map in distutils.
But that's basically not what package_dir controls. What actually makes us
find the module in the right place is the --inplace passed to setup.py
(causing the module to go into the current directory), and the following
'mv' in the Makefile to move it into the right final location.
We can simplify setup.py by dropping the useless objdir stuff, and get the
module put in the right place straight way by instead using the --build-lib
setup.py option.

pylibfdt/setup.py currently adds include flags to the extension module
build to allow include files in the base dtc directory. But pylibfdt
doesn't rely on any headers there, only on headers in libfdt/ - it also
shouldn't rely on dtc headers at any future time.
So, remove that from the include list, allowing some simplifications to
setup.py.

The pylibfdt code is written for Python2, not Python3. So, it's safer to
explicitly request Python2 in our scripts and when checking pkg-config.
On Arch Linux at least, there isn't actually a plain "python" link, just
"python2" and "python3", so the current setup won't work at all.
According to https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/ using "python2"
should work, and is preferred.
Updating pylibfdt to work with Python3 would be nice, but is a problem for
another day.

At present we require that setup.py is executed from the Makefile, which
sets up various important things like the list of files to build and the
version number.
However many installation systems expect to be able to change to the
directory containing setup.py and run it. This allows them to support (for
example) building/installing for multiple Python versions, varying
installation paths, particular C flags, etc.
The problem in implementing this is that we don't want to duplicate the
information in the Makefile. A common solution (so I am told) is to parse
the Makefile to obtain the required information.
Update the setup.py script to read a few Makefiles when it does not see
the required information in its environment. This allows installation
using:
./pylibfdt/setup.py install

Use the same version number in the module as with the rest of libfdt. This
can be examined with:
import pkg_resources
print pkg_resources.require('libfdt')[0].version

At present we manually move _libfdt.so into the correct place. Provide a

At present setup.py adjusts its command line when running, so that the
C flags and file list can be passed as arguments. Pass them in environment
variables instead, so we can avoid this messiness. It also allows us to
support the 'install' command.
