python3: Build and package precompiled modules

Remove the patch that was applied in the python3 and python3-native
recipes to skip compilation of python modules.

Modify generate-manifest-3.5.py to match '__pycache__' directories in
FILES_*.
This is necessary because Python3 puts .pyc files in '__pycache__'
subdirectories one level below the corresponding .py files, whereas in
Python2 they used to be right next to the sources.

This change significantly reduces the startup overhead of Python3
scripts. For example, on a Cortex-A9, "python3 -c pass" took 0.40s
before, and 0.19s after.
