python3: upgrade to 3.7.2

I took the same approach as the recent perl upgrade: write recipe from scratch,
taking the pieces from the old recipe only when they were proven to be necessary.

The pgo, manifest and ptest features are all preserved.

New features:

- native and target recipes are now unified into one recipe

- check_build_completeness.py runs right after do_compile() and verifies that
all optional modules have been built (a notorious source of regressions)

- a new approach to sysconfig.py and distutils/sysconfig.py returning values
appropriate for native or target builds: we copy the configuration file to a
separate folder, add that folder to sys.path (through environment variable
that differs between native and target builds), and point python to the file
through another environment variable.

There were a few other patches where it was difficult to decide if the patch
is still relevant, and how to test that it works correctly; please add those
as-needed by testing the new python.

+Subject: [PATCH] setup.py: pass missing libraries to Extension for
+ multiprocessing module
+
+In the following commit:
+...
+commit e711cafab13efc9c1fe6c5cd75826401445eb585
+Author: Benjamin Peterson <benjamin@python.org>

+    svn+ssh://pythondev@svn.python.org/python/trunk
+...
+(see diff in setup.py)
+It assigned libraries for multiprocessing module according
+the host_platform, but not pass it to Extension.
+
+In glibc, the following commit caused two definition of
+sem_getvalue are different.
+https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=042e1521c794a945edc43b5bfa7e69ad70420524
+(see diff in nptl/sem_getvalue.c for detail)
+`__new_sem_getvalue' is the latest sem_getvalue@@GLIBC_2.1
+and `__old_sem_getvalue' is to compat the old version
+sem_getvalue@GLIBC_2.0.
+
+To build python for embedded Linux systems:
+http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.3.1/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.html
+If not explicitly link to library pthread (-lpthread), it will
+load glibc's sem_getvalue randomly at runtime.
+
+Such as build python on linux x86_64 host and run the python
+on linux x86_32 target. If not link library pthread, it caused
+multiprocessing bounded semaphore could not work correctly.
+...
+>>> import multiprocessing
+>>> pool_sema = multiprocessing.BoundedSemaphore(value=1)
+>>> pool_sema.acquire()
+True
+>>> pool_sema.release()
+Traceback (most recent call last):
+  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
+ValueError: semaphore or lock released too many times
+...
+
+And the semaphore issue also caused multiprocessing.Queue().put() hung.
