This should allow proper filtering of build flags for libraries and make
it easier to use PIE/PIC.

setuptools is recommended by Python Packaging Guide
https://python-packaging-user-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/current/
It contains some useful extensions like 'develop' command. Also it
is required for building wheels AFAIK.
The only downside is an extra build-time dependency. setuptools are
packaged in both Debian and Ubuntu (python3-setuptools), as well as
other major distros, so it shouldn't be an issue, I think.

Distribution name starting with underscore is considered invalid by
many tools. For example, you can't list such name in
install_requires in your setup.py.

Building LXC in a separate target directory, by running configure from
outside the source tree, failed with multiple errors, mostly in the
Python and Lua extensions, due to assuming the source dir and build dir
are the same in a few places. To fix that:
- Pre-process setup.py with the appropriate directories at configure
time
- Introduce the build dir as an include path in the Lua Makefile
- Link the default container configuration file from the alternatives
in the configure stage, instead of setting a variable and using it
in the Makefile

The new version of the pep8 command is detecting more indentation
mistakes than it used to, this fixes them.

This adds a basic python binding done in C and a python overlay to
extend some features and provide a user-friendlier API.
This python API only supports python 3.x and was tested with >= 3.2.
It's disabled by default in configure and can be turned on by using
--enable-python.
A basic example of the API can be found in src/python-lxc/test.py.
More documentation and examples will be added soon.
