python: update to 2.7.17

Drop backports, rebase a couple of patches.

This is the second last release of py 2.x; upstream support ends on
1 January 2020, there will be one final 2.x afterwards.

Note that the only thing that still needs python 2.x in oe-core is
u-boot; when the next u-boot update arrives, we should find out
where the py3 migration is for that component before merging the
update.

+Subject: [PATCH] python: Resolve intermediate staging issues
+
+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.
