[issue20210] Provide configure options to enable/disable Python modules and extensions

[koobs]

koobs added the comment:

For what it's worth, we've been running with patch 0001 on FreeBSD's Python 3.4 port for 8 months with no issues [1].

It allows downstreams like us to easily customise what modules gets built, and offers substantial flexibility and benefits for various packaging scenarios.

This patch is the simplest approach that offers benefits without complicating the existing built infrastructure, or precluding a more 'elegant' solution if one is forthcoming in the future.
