python: Resolve intermediate staging issues

Its bad practise to poke into the sysroot without knowledge of sstate.

This adds a patch to python allowing us to account for cross compiling
and allow it to find the Makefile/pyconfig.h files without needing them
in the sysroot for do_compile/do_install to complete.

Tested on two architectures and compared with buildhistory with no
significant delta.

+When cross compiling python, we used to need to install the Makefile, pyconfig.h 
+and the python library to their final location before being able to compile the 
+rest of python. This change allows us to point python at its own source when
+building, avoiding a variety of sysroot staging issues and simplifying the main
+python recipe.
