Tom Lane 46ddbbb117 Improve (I hope) our autolocation of the Python shared library.
Older versions of Python produce garbage (or at least useless) values of
get_config_vars('LDLIBRARY').  Newer versions produce garbage (or at least
useless) values of get_config_vars('SO'), which was defeating our configure
logic that attempted to identify where the Python shlib really is.  The net
result, at least with a stock Python 3.5 installation on macOS, was that
we were linking against a static library in the mistaken belief that it was
a shared library.  This managed to work, if you count statically absorbing
libpython into plpython.so as working.  But it no longer works as of commit
d51924be8, because now we get separate static copies of libpython in
plpython.so and hstore_plpython.so, and those can't interoperate on the
same data.  There are some other infelicities like assuming that nobody
ever installs a private version of Python on a macOS machine.

Hence, forget about looking in $python_configdir for the Python shlib;
as far as I can tell no version of Python has ever put one there, and
certainly no currently-supported version does.  Also, rather than relying
on get_config_vars('SO'), just try all the possibilities for shlib
extensions.  Also, rather than trusting Py_ENABLE_SHARED, believe we've
found a shlib only if it has a recognized extension.  Last, explicitly
cope with the possibility that the shlib is really in /usr/lib and
$python_libdir is a red herring --- this is the actual situation on older
macOS, but we were only accidentally working with it.
