Frederik Rietdijk 56727dc1ff Python: setuptools/wheel/pip now bootstrap from source
Since wheel support was introduced in 2015 we always relied on pre-built
wheels for bootstrapping. Now, we can bootstrap directly from the
sources of these packages in git.

The `bootstrapped-pip` packages is used to build `pip`, `setuptools` and `wheel`,
after which those packages are used to build everything else.

Note that when building `bootstrapped-pip` some errors are shown.
These are not important, the build actually does succeed and work as intended.
