This patch makes it possible to build python3 with profile directed
optimization. That is, feed python build process with profile data to
guide optimization. This is the third (and the last) step in profile
directed optimization for Python 3.x.

In order to do a profile-optimized build you need to specify
PYTHON3_PROFILE_OPT = "1" in your local.conf, and, have profile data available
in the location pointed to by PYTHON3_PROFILE_DIR. Profile data can be
obtainen e.g. by running bitbake python-pgo-image -c profile3.
