[issue27640] add the '--disable-test-suite' option to configure

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Thomas Petazzoni added the comment:

We have a similar patch in Buildroot (see https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/tree/package/python3/0017-Add-an-option-to-disable-installation-of-test-module.patch) so we would be very happy to see this patch merged.

Note that we also have many more patches to disable various parts of the Python standard installation (https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/tree/package/python3/). So either we have one option for each feature (like we have implemented), or a more general config option --disable-feature=test,this,that.

See also bug http://bugs.python.org/issue20210 which is related, and was also proposing a patch to disable the test suite.
