Maybe usage of python-single-r1 is wrong

Two issues (as described in the ebuild comment I've added): 1. The build system (not just configure) does a huge amount of autodetection; 2. Its infra isn't set up to build Python 3.10+ yet (as in, no targets defined, and they're all manually written). And it doesn't seem to even use the result of configure? It'll take more work to get this done and dropping 3.10 for now, while it's unfortunate, means it's at least not in a broken state until then. I've left in the partial work commented out given it gets us part of the way there. As far as I can tell, the configure stuff isn't even used for the subsequent actual building of the modules.

Even with the changes so far, I think it's still going to end up using whichever impl it feels like (either the newest it recognises, or the oldest, depending on configure vs the Makefile stuff).

We now hijack the script that the Makefile calls to get the list of available interpreters (which is separate from the weird configure thing!) and just create a stub which outputs the paths for the corresponding implementation chosen via PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET using the normal eclass machinery. - Add a sanity check in src_install for when USE=python for /usr/$(get_libdir)/virtualbox/VBoxPython*.so to minimise the risk of silently not building & not realising it. (Noticed risk of this when in the middle of this work & noticed that w/o the extra (see next point) Makefile targets, it ends up silently just not doing anything). - Import Arch Linux / upstream (on trunk) patches for Python 3.10 (thanks to Kerin Millar for the pointer on that bit). We're resigned to having to update the Makefile every time a new Python comes out, but it's at least only one place, and it's not trivial for us to change it given.. kbuild. (It's not just a list, but a bunch of variables which get defined for each target.)
