[Thomas Petazzoni]

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=a54e58e9b2e60935e9baac2989a00e66d0637c46
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

No functional change is brought by this modification.

This patch:
* removes redundant <pkg>_SRCDIR and <pkg>_BUILDDIR declarations
  (already defined in pkg-generic.mk)
* documents the usage of <pkg>_SUBDIR in the python-specific section of
  the manual.
