#65478: glib2 only has a build dependency on python?!

-------------------------+--------------------
 Working on updating a number of my custom ports (including glib2 and
 gobject-introspection) I was asked to install a Python port I already had
 installed. Turned out I install these ports `+universal` while my Python
 ports are not for the most part.

 As far as I can tell, glib2 does not install a binary that links to a
 Python binary, nor a binary Python extension. In other words, Python is a
 build dependency or at best a runtime dependency (but the installed .py
 files are not executable scripts that require a specific python
 interpreter).

 Either way, the selected Python version should be added to
 `depends_skip_archcheck` so +universal glib2 builds do not impose a
 +universal Python build.

 (this also applies to port:gobject-introspection).
