python: do not install the IDLE editor 



IDLE is the Python IDE built with the tkinter GUI toolkit, for which
the main script has always been removed from the target (so it was
never usable in Buildroot). However, we were still installing about
800 to 900 KB of .pyc files used only by the idle editor. This commit
adds a Python patch that completely gets rid of the
compilation/installation of the idle editor. As a consequence, it is
no longer needed to manually remove the 'idle' program from the
target in python.mk.

Do not install the idle editor



IDLE is the Python IDE built with the tkinter GUI toolkit. Since it's

highly unlikely to ever be useful in an embedded Linux system

generated by Buildroot, this patch simply disables the installation of

idle and the related Python modules. It saves 800 KB-900 KB of

installed .pyc files.
