[Buildroot] [PATCH] package/kodi: needs .py modules

Kodi segfaults as soon as it tries to load a python module:

    Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>
    Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
    ImportError: No module named site
    Segmentation fault

Turns out that keeping .py modules (with or without .pyc) fixes the
issue.

Currently, Kodi selects python, but since the format of modules is a
choice, we can not select it.

Fix that by inverting the dependency on python from Kodi:
  - turn it into a depends rather than a select,
  - add the dependency to ! pyc-only
  - update the comment accordingly.
