[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] python-pybind: new package

[Guillaume Bres]

Hello,

If I understand correctly, this patch only covers the first use case
(C++/Python). I only added this one because my following patch requires
host-python-pybind, but I agree it certainly lacks a depends on
!BR2_INSTALL_LIBSTDCPP. I'll wait for people's point of view before going
any further anyway. If you agree on this, I will add the dependency and
push a *v2*

The other use case that people might need in the future, is not allowed at
the moment until we unlock it with $(eval $(cmake-package)) but requires
further work (I am also not familiar with cmake at the moment). Maybe you
could proceed with adding the cmake support because you are knowledgeable
and already got it working?

One last question though: "For example, this project won't find pybind11
because it uses find_package(pybind11...)", so we should rename the package
to *python-pybind11*? so we don't have any other problems when unlocking
the cmake option. If you agree on that point, my v2 will be renamed to
*python-pybind11* & and I will also adapt my following work to this new name
