The releases on Github produces a setuptools version that isn't PEP518
compliant because a .post number is attached to the .egg file
(IE: 40.0.0.post20180820) which can cause a python package using setuptools
to fail if looking for a setuptools version.
Instead, using the official release from pypi is recommended as it does not
produce a .post version on the egg file.
Another benefit is not having to run bootstrap.py either.
See https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/1462 for more details about
the issue

Since things are no longer installed in $(HOST_DIR)/usr, the callers
should also not refer to it.
This is a mechanical change with
git grep -l '$(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin' | xargs sed -i 's%$(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin%$(HOST_DIR)/bin%g'

Recent setuptools versions require bootstrap.py to be invoked
before the standard setup process. So create such pre configure
hooks for both host and target versions.
Change download location to GitHub because setuptools doesn't
provide *.tar.gz any longer.
Fix legal info. setuptools is now licensed under MIT licence.

A refresh of the existing patch is needed, and the patch is also
renamed to use the correct patch file naming convention.

The $(TARGET_DIR) variable is required when building
python-setuptools for the target otherwise the build system detects
the host installation which leads to permission error problems
like these:
Setuptools installation detected at /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages
Renaming /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools-0.9.8-py2.7.egg-info to
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools-0.9.8-py2.7.egg-info.OLD.1377005697.88
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied
Moreover, remove the PYTHONPATH variable for host variant since it's
not needed.

Switch to distribute fork since it's maintained and fixes a few issues
while bumping to version 0.6.36.
There's work upstream in re-merging with setuptools which is now
supposedly maintained, see
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2013-March/020126.html
Buildroot python packages should use --single-version-externally-managed
and --root=/ in the install phase even if they're not setuptools-based.
This is because the default is to build egg files (zip files) for
packages to support multiple target versions, and since the packages
should be handled by buildroot infrastructure that's not needed.
Also potentially doing double-compression is time-wasting (i.e. egg
file and target filesystem) when running on slow targets.
