Adrien Devresse ae2800378f neuron: fix issue #17914 -> Add python bindings to neuron derivation and minor fixes
- Add support for python bindings
- make neuron respect standard pythonpath prefix
- force exec_prefix == prefix to respect standard nix file hierarchy
- normalize indentation
- propagate dependencies necessary for nrniv_makefile usage
- Add support for darwin
