python: Rename build related code to ovs_build_helpers.

The python/build folder contents are completely unrelated to the ovs
python bindings. These files are only used during the build for various
subsystems (docs, man pages, code generation, etc.).

Having that folder in that location prevents from running:

  cd python && python3 -m build

Which is a way to generate PEP517 compatible source archives and binary
wheel packages.

Rename that folder to ovs_build_helpers which is more explicit. Update
all imports accordingly.
