Configure pkgconf to report the temporary directories of the prefix that is used on macOS during CPython builds.
Build standard-library extensions through CPython's configure and Setup.stdlib mechanism for Python 3.12 and newer. Default to statically linking these modules into libpython/python with a few overrides speficied in a Setup.local file created from extension-modules.yaml. This allows CPython's extension checks to run. Python 3.11 and 3.10 contrinue to use the existing process to configure and build extension modules.
Configuration correctly detect the SIMD support in the toolchain and applies the appropiate flags when building libhacl.

Switch CPython 3.12+ builds to the upstream Setup.stdlib extension-building mechanism while preserving the existing static/shared linkage behavior.
pkgconfon macOS to provide Tcl/Tk configuration to CPython.xxlimited_3_13extensions. c.f. Enable _testclinic, _testclinic_limited and xxlimited_3_13 #1185With this change,
extension-modules.ymlis still used for the following in CPython 3.12:Setup.stdlib.inPYTHON.jsonConstructing
PYTHON.jsonfor CPython 3.12+ from other sources would be a good follow up.Makes various patches unnecessary:
patch-checksharedmods-disable.patch#869patch-configure-disable-stdlib-mod-3.12.patch#875 (This patch is only applied on Python 3.11)patch-pwd-remove-conditional.patch#876 (this patch is only applied on Python 3.11)Configuration can now appropriately detect SIMD support in the toolchain and adjusts
libhaclflags accordingly.patch-python-configure-hacl-no-simd.patch#883This does not add shared extension suggested in #227. This could be done with a small change as a follow up.
