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.

-Make sure setup.py reads the correct CONFIG_ARGS
-
-The setup.py script that builds and installs all the Python modules
-shipped with the interpreter looks at the CONFIG_ARGS variable stored
-in the "sysconfig" module to look at the ./configure options and
-adjust its behaviour accordingly.
-
-Unfortunately, when cross-compiling, the value of CONFIG_ARGS returned
-by the sysconfig are the one passed to the ./configure script of the
-*host* Python and not the one we're currently building for the target.
-
-In order to avoid that, we re-initialize the values in the sysconfig
-module by re-reading the environment at the beginning of the setup.py
-script, and we make sure that the CONFIG_ARGS variable is actually
-part of the environment of setup.py.
-
-See the beginning of
-http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.devel/99772 for the
-inspiration.
