Al Bailey 45d4657f3d Python optimizations for CentOs
Pros:
 we are seeing a 10% performance boost for all python processes.

Cons:
 The time to build python increases.
 This is because pgo (profile guided optimizations) need the unit tests
for python to be invoked and then the entire package compiled a second
time using the timing information from the unit test profiling data
that is gathered.

This commit sets up the src rpm environment for building python 2.7.5

- Needed to disable the tox unit test check phase since a couple tests
 fail due to build dependencies
- Turn off dtrace and systemtap in the spec file
- Use pgo for build in modules: https://bugs.python.org/issue26307
- Rollup cpython patches and add --enable-optimizations and
  --with-computed-gotos for optimized build

These are the cpython commits pulled in:

This still does not yield the same level of performance as a vanilla
 python 2.7.14 source tree which suggests there are other commits
 that would provide a performance boost.
