#31216: build python against libedit instead of readline

------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
GNU readline is licensed under GPL-3+, whereas libedit is BSD. Using
libedit will therefore make the binary distribution situation easier. This
is actually the default configuration on OS X for upstream anyway, as
Apple's libreadline is a link to libedit.
Should just be a matter of patching the configure script to change
-lreadline to -ledit and readline/readline.h to editline/readline.h.
