Rodrigo Tobar c3a6d96988 Ports: Patch Python to deal with Serenity's strftime
The xmlrpc.client module has some trial-and-error logic at module import
time to figure out how to properly format years using strftime. There
have already been problems in the past with this code in Python (see
https://bugs.python.org/issue13305, which is still open), and Serenity
only adds to that.

This problem has been reported at https://bugs.python.org/issue45386, so
hopefully in time we won't need this patch anymore.

# Patches for Python 3.9 on SerenityOS
## `define-have-sigset-t.patch`
Ensures `HAVE_SIGSET_T` is defined, as we *do* have `sigset_t` but it's not detected properly due to some related functions being missing.
## `include-sys-uio.patch`
Ensures `struct iovec` is defined, required by the socket module.
## `define-py-force-utf8-locale.patch`
Enforce UTF-8 as encoding by defining `_Py_FORCE_UTF8_LOCALE`.
## `fix-autoconf.patch`
As usual, make the `configure` script recognize Serenity. Also set `MACHDEP` (which is used for `sys.platform`) to a version-less `serenityos`, even when not cross-compiling.
## `http-client.patch`
Allows HTTPConnection to work without the TCP_NODELAY socket option, as this is not supported by Serenity.
## `tweak-setup-py.patch`
Make some tweaks to Python's `setup.py` files:
- Add `/usr/local/lib` / `/usr/local/include` to the system lib / include dirs, relative to the sysroot when crosscompiling. These are by default only included when not crosscompiling for some reason.
- Add `/usr/local/include/ncurses` to the curses include paths so it can build the `_curses` module. This is by default included for a bunch of extensions, but not `_curses`.
- Add `/usr/local/includes/uuid` to the uuid include paths so it can build the `_uuid` module. This is by default included for a bunch of extensions, but not `_uuid`.
## `xmlrcp_client.patch`
Fix xmlrpc.client module so it can be imported. It otherwise a call to strftime raises a ValueError that the code is not prepared to handle.
