For the samba build that's fine to remove the EXTRA_PYTHON thing
and use a separate autobuild instead.

But for tdb, talloc, tevent, ldb we need to keep it, I guess
it's fine if it only works with the main python being 2.7 and
extra python 3, it's not required to get the reverse working.

Or we need a different way to generate python bindings for both versions
on top of a single C library.
