The pure Python in-tree JSON parser is *much* slower than the
in-tree C JSON parser. A local test parsing a 100Mb JSON file
showed the Python version taking 270 seconds. With the C wrapper,
it took under 4 seconds.
The C extension will be used automatically if it can be built. If
the extension fails to build, a warning is displayed and the build
is restarted without the extension.
The Serializer class is replaced with Python's built-in
JSON library since the ability to process chunked data is not
needed in that case.
The extension should work with both Python 2.7 and Python 3.3+.

This patch fixes just the Python 3 problems found by running:
python3 setup.py install
There are still many other issues to be fixed, but this is a start.

This adds very basic support for setuptools so that the OVS Python
lib can be added to PyPI.
This currently uses the Open vSwitch version number and the
generated dirs.py, though there is no real reason to tie the
Python libraries releases or version numbers to the main project's.
