commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=cc688dc132a1ce869e42e6676ae6478996580bb4
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/2018.02.x

When the OpenCV3 Python support is enabled with Python 3.x, it builds
properly, and the resulting .so file is built for the target
architecture, but its name is wrong:

  output/target/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/cv2.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so

This prevents Python 3.x from importing the module:

>>> import cv2
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cv2'

In order to fix this, we simply need to pass PKG_PYTHON_DISTUTILS_ENV
in the environment. The Python module then gets named:

  output/target/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/cv2.cpython-36m-arm-linux-gnueabi.so

And can be imported properly:

>>> import cv2
>>>

This solution was suggested by Arnout Vandecappelle in
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49059035/buildroot-opencv3-python-package-builds-for-the-wrong-target.

With Python 2.x, the module is named just cv2.so so this problem isn't
visible. However, for consistency, we also pass
PKG_PYTHON_DISTUTILS_ENV when building against Python 2.x, by putting
the OPENCV3_CONF_ENV assignment inside the
BR2_PACKAGE_OPENCV3_LIB_PYTHON condition, but outside the
BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON3/BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON condition.
