This reverts commit a47e63b589.
(It's not a complete revert as I added back two newlines in the
generated ReadMe.md so it matches output for the current patch files.)
python would otherwise fail to build if gettext is built first,
as its configure script detects the presence of libintl.h. However,
building with libintl support enabled fails to link.
termcap has last been updated in 2002, and is relying on a lot of
deprecated C99 behavior. All two current users are fine without it,
so just remove it completely.
Released on 2023-10-02.

Note that the top-level setup.py script has disappeared completely,
hence the two dropped patches. AFAICT this doesn't regress building any
of the native modules, presumably because the configure script fully
takes care of this now:
```
The necessary bits to build these optional modules were not found:
_dbm _gdbm _posixshmem
_tkinter nis ossaudiodev
To find the necessary bits, look in configure.ac and config.log.
Checked 111 modules (31 built-in, 73 shared, 1 n/a on serenityos-x86_64,
0 disabled, 6 missing, 0 failed on import)
```
Previously we relied on the presence of a `python3` binary in the
PATH that has the correct minor version to build the port.
We now first check for the presence of a `python3.minor` binary
in the PATH and use that if found.
This allows users that have multiple Python versions installed
simultaneously (like from a PPA) to build the port without having
to change their main version.
This now requires `--host` and `--with-build-python` to be passed to the
configure script when cross compiling; the former we simply do like in
many other package.sh scripts as well, the latter we point to `python3`,
which is expected to match the port's version anyway.
Add two patches to allow Python's package manager to work on Serenity:
- The first one enables zlib module, which is needed for `ensurepip`
command;
- The second patch fixes pip downloads, so it's possible to install
packages from the PyPI repository.
Following the pattern for qemu, mold, and clang, we should install the
host python required to build the python port into its own install tree
rather than forcing it into the GNU compiler's bindir.
All of these patches did the same thing, which is already in upstream
config.sub.
With this change, we need only add `use_fresh_config_sub=true` to
the package.sh file.
Note that this is not done automatically in case the port has a modified
config.sub file.
The --enable-optimizations flag attempts to enable PGO. Profile-guided
optimization is great in general, but will not work at all when doing a
cross-compile. If there's a more fine-grained flag for generic
optimization levels that doesn't try to do PGO, we should enable that
instead. The flag also enables `-fno-semantic-interposition`, but our
GCC patches enable that by default for -fPIC anyway, so that's not
necessary.
The old patch to define `HAVE_SIGSET_T` is no longer needed, as we now
have implementations for `sigwaitinfo` and `sigtimedwait`.
Instead, for the same reason, we now have to remove a reference to
`si_errno`, which we haven't implemented yet but is just assumed to be
there.
It appears that the patch still applied partially, which led to me
believing our changes were fully upstreamed. Only the _uuid module
specific changes didn't apply and are no longer needed, so simply
restore the other ones that I removed.
