python: bump to 2.7.6

Even though jumping from 2.7.3 to 2.7.6 looks like a minor version
bump, it is in fact a fairly significant one, because a good number of
changes to help cross-compilation have been merged into Python
upstream. Therefore, most of our patches are affected by this change.

In detail, this commit:

 * Renames all the patches to follow the naming convention of patches
   in Buildroot: the patch file names should not have any version
   number.

 * The patches numbered above 100, that add configuration options to
   disable certain modules of the Python standard library, are only
   renamed and slightly adapted, they didn't change that much.

 * The patches numbered below 100 are almost entirely rewritten: many
   of the cross-compilation problems that used to exist in Python
   2.7.3 no longer exist, and the number of remaining problems is
   smaller, and can be fixed with smaller patches.

-Add infrastructure to disable the build of certain extensions
-
-Some of the extensions part of the Python core have dependencies on
-external libraries (sqlite, tk, etc.) or are relatively big and not
-necessarly always useful (CJK codecs for example). By extensions, we
-mean part of Python modules that are written in C and therefore
-compiled to binary code.
-
-Therefore, we introduce a small infrastructure that allows to disable
-some of those extensions. This can be done inside the configure.in by
-adding values to the DISABLED_EXTENSIONS variable (which is a
-word-separated list of extensions).
-
-The implementation works as follow :
-
- * configure.in defines a DISABLED_EXTENSIONS variable, which is
-   substituted (so that when Makefile.pre is generated from
-   Makefile.pre.in, the value of the variable is substituted). For
-   now, this DISABLED_EXTENSIONS variable is empty, later patches will
-   use it.
-
- * Makefile.pre.in passes the DISABLED_EXTENSIONS value down to the
-   variables passed in the environment when calling the setup.py
-   script that actually builds and installs those extensions.
-
- * setup.py is modified so that the existing "disabled_module_list" is
-   filled with those pre-disabled extensions listed in
-   DISABLED_EXTENSIONS.
-
-Patch ported to python2.7 by Maxime Ripard <ripard@archos.com>, and
-then extended by Thomas Petazzoni
-<thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>.
