[issue16299] __build__ as a temp build directory for setup.py

[anatoly techtonik]

New submission from anatoly techtonik:

Currently distutils builds files in a temporary directory named 'build' in current dir if not specified otherwise. It will be pythonic to name this directory to be __build__ be default to distinguish it from project specific directories and clarify that this one can be safely removed (much like __pycache__).
