m4/ctng_python.m4: Fix library check
There is subtle difference between our CTNG_PYTHON and the AX_PYTHON on
which it is based. The latter uses AC_CHECK_PROGS() which sets
PYTHON_BIN to the name of the executable. We use AC_PATH_PROGS() which
sets PYTHON_BIN to the full path of the executable.

Because the name of the executable is the same as the library AX_PYTHON
uses this when looking for the library with AC_CHECK_LIB() which magics
itself into a linker flag like `-lpython3.11` but our version ends up
with a nonsensical `-l/usr/bin/python3.11` so the check fails and we
keep iterating repeating the same wrong check for every tested python
version.

We can't just switch to using AC_CHECK_PROGS() because we do want to use
the variable set by AC_PATH_PROGS() to set the full path in paths.sh.
Ultimately we could probably switch to using the upstream AX_PYTHON
macro (https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_python.html) and
figure out a better way of getting the full path of the exectuable but
for now add an extra AC_CHECK_PROGS() to set a different variable and
use that for AC_CHECK_LIB().

# SYNOPSIS
#
# CTNG_PYTHON
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
# This macro does a complete Python development environment check.
#
# It checks for all known versions. When it finds an executable, it looks
# to find the header files and library.
#
# It sets PYTHON_BIN to the name of the python executable,
# PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR to the directory holding the header files, and
# PYTHON_LIB to the name of the Python library.
#
# This macro calls AC_SUBST on PYTHON_BIN (via AC_CHECK_PROG),
# PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR and PYTHON_LIB.
#
# Also calls CTNG_SET_KCONFIG_OPTION to set KCONFIG_python for
# crosstool-ng.
