Python: the pythonModule attribute

Python libraries or modules now have an attribute `pythonModule = interpreter;` to indicate
they provide Python modules for the specified `interpreter`.

The package set provides the following helper functions:

- hasPythonModule: Check whether a derivation provides a Python module.
- requiredPythonModules: Recurse into a list of Python modules, returning all Python modules that are required.
- makePythonPath: Create a PYTHONPATH from a list of Python modules.

Also included in this commit is:
- disabledIf: Helper function for disabling non-buildPythonPackage functions.
