Adjust library/header paths for cross-compilation

When cross-compiling third-party extensions, the get_python_inc() or
get_python_lib() can be called, to return the path to headers or
libraries. However, they use the sys.prefix of the host Python, which
returns incorrect paths when cross-compiling (paths pointing to host
headers and libraries).

In order to fix this, we introduce the _python_sysroot, _python_prefix
and _python_exec_prefix variables, that allow to override these
values, and get correct header/library paths when cross-compiling
third-party Python modules.

The _python_sysroot variable is also used to prefix the LIBDIR value
taken from the sysconfigdata module.
