* guix/build-system/python.scm (python-build): New keyword argument
  "#:use-setuptools?", defaulting to #t.
* guix/build/python-build-system.scm (call-setup-py): New positional
  parameter "use-setuptools?". If false, do not use the shim-wrapper
  for addin setuptools. (build, check): accept keyword-
  parameter, and pass to call-setuppy. (install): same; if
  "use-setuptools?" is false, do not use options "--root" and
  "--single-version-externally-managed" for setup.py.
* doc/guix.texi (Build Systems): Document it.

This is needed for packages using "distutils" instead of "setuptools" since
the former does not understand the "--single-version-externally-managed"
flag. Also export __file__ since it will be unset when setup.py is called from
python "exec".

* guix/build/python-build-system.scm (call-setuppy): extend "python setup.py"
  call to import setuptools, export __file__, and call setup.py from
  setuptools python environment.

This requires setuptools to be installed together with python, which is
the case for Python 3 anyway and which we do for our build of Python 2
(see last commit).

* guix/build/python-build-system.scm (install): Add
  "--single-version-externally-managed" and "--root=/" to params to be
  passed to call-setuppy. Remove thus needless manipulation of
  PYTHONPATH. Remove now unused argument "inputs".
