Merge in the python wrappers (ticket #181). This also removes the boost-python versions, and updates calls to those (since they didn't always adhere to the python style guidelines, and some of the functionality is slightly different with the current wrappers).

Currently wrapped libraries are libdns++ and libxfr

+
+This is an implementation of the python wrappers for isc::dns.
+
+Currently, when compiled the module is called libdns_python. If we
+decide to always need it we can add a default import under
+lib/python/isc.
+
+To use it from the source tree, you must add src/lib/dns/python/.libs
+to your PYTHONPATH environment variable. Within python you can then use
+> import libdns_python
+> rrc = libdns_python.RRClass("IN")
+etc.
+
+Notes:
+
+this implementation is not a complete 1-to-1 mapping of the C++ API;
+some of the functionality is not needed the way we use it in Python.
+
+For instance, we did not implement the buffer classes;
+everywhere in the API where buffers are used, you can pass a bytearray
+object.
+
+We also (currently) left out some 'lowlevel' wrappers, for instance for
+specific Rdata types.
+
+If you have specific functionality you do need, please ask for it and we
+will add it.
+
+The 'main' module is defined in libdns_python.cc.
+There is a libdns_python_common.[cc|h] for helper functions.
+
+Implementation notes:
+
+Writing wrappers for a lot of classes is mostly a case of repetition.
+There are a lot of things one must do, and that is why nearly everyone
+immediately and continually has the urge to make generators for this.
+
+We have added a little more documentation than is strictly necessary to
+rrclass.h, for reference to new readers.
+
+To keep it maintainable as the original API changes, we use two
+techniques;
+
+1. Full unittests. Or at least as full as possible. These unit tests
+   test the *wrapper* code, not necessarily the underlying c++ code,
+   which has its own unit tests. There is of course some overlap.
+2. Structure. I have tried to structure the wrapper files as much as
+   possible, see below.
+
+Structure:
+
+Since we are moving a lot of wrappers into one module, the specific
+classes are split over several files, each one having the name of the
+original header file they are wrapping (e.g. the wrapper for name.h
+becomes name_python.cc).
+
+At the top we first declare any exceptions, constants, and enums. These
+are all called po_<C++-name> (the actual python name will be set once
+they are added to the module in the module inialization function).
+
+Each class needs a struct that contains a pointer to an instance of the
+object (and any helper data). We call these structs s_<C++ class name>.
+
+Then we declare (but not define!) all methods we will export to
+python. These are named <C++ class name>_<C++ method name>.
+
+We will also need an _init and _destroy function for all of these.
+
+After the function declarations we define the method array; this
+contains the name of the methods as they appear in python, the wrapping
+function here, and documentation strings.
+
+Next is the type description; this is used for the wrapper code to
+convert native classes from and to python objects, and defines
+type-specific pointers (for instance to the method table mentioned above,
+but also to a __str__ function should one be defined, how the object
+should behave when it is used as a Sequence, etc.). For most classes,
+almost all values here shall be NULL.
+This has the name <lowercase C++ class name>_type.
+
+After that we define the exported functions we defined earlier. In some
+cases these need the type we just defined, and the type needed the
+function names, so for consistency, all functions are defined after,
+but declared before the type.
+
+This is repeated for every class we export.
+
+Finally we define the function to add the class, constants, exceptions,
+and enums to the module. This function is called from the init function
+in libdns_python.cc, has the name
+initModulePart_<c++ class name>, returns a boolean
+(true on success, false on failure), and takes the module as a
+PyObject*. There is a convenience function called addClassVariable to
+add constants and enums to classes.
