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.

-python3-native: run regen-importlib target correctly
-
-regen-importlib depends on other regen- targets, so we must be sure to
-run it after (most of) the others.  In reality, we do not need to run it
-at all since "make" will invoke it, if necessary.  We do not want to
-rely on that, though.
