openvswitch: fix build host contamination

There is only a single PYTHON variable for configure and yet python is
used for the build as well as scripts installed on the target. If we
set a path in PYTHON as we had we end up using this same path during
the build and since it isn't to the sysroot we end up with host
contamination (as demonstrated by python failing to import 'six' on
build hosts without python-six installed.

The best approach is to set PYTHON to "python" when calling configure,
ie. without a path. This will use 'python' from the path during build
time and by ensuring all the installed scripts use '/usr/bin/env' we
can ensure python will be found on the target when the scripts are
run.

Since 'six' is used as part of the build we have to ensure it is
-native'ly buildable and we set all the required build and runtime
dependencies.

+Subject: [PATCH] python: make remaining scripts use /usr/bin/env
+
+Unfortunately there is no concept of a host python vs. target python
+to facilitate cross compilation. There is only one PYTHON variable and
+this is used during building and in the header of python scripts after
+installation. The best approach for cross compilation is to thus to
+ensure python is in the path and avoid passing a path as part of
+PYTHON. To make this function smoothly all installed scripts should
+make use of /usr/bin/env to increase the chances of finding python.
