[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/8] python: clean up host version logic.

Currently, packages that rely on host-python, and are compatible with both
python2 and 3, only build python3 if python3 is selected for the target.

This causes a problem in the following scenario:

- A user does not have a target python selected.
- Package A depends on host-python3
- Package B is compatible with host-python and host-python3

In this scenario, host-python is not needed, as package A and B are
both compatible with python3. However; both host-python and host-python3 will
be built because no target-python has been selected.

To fix this, the following patch series introduces a few minimal changes
that will allow the user to manually select a host version of python.
(Note: I have changed only the packages that I personally use and have tested.)

Adam Duskett (8):
  python: add host-entry
  python3: add host-entry
  python-setuptools: check host-python version
  pkg-waf.mk: check host-python version
  ninja: check host-python version
  libselinux: check host-python version
  setools: check host-python version
  libselinux: check host-python version
