This saves about 2 MiB from the package. When all rpms get extracted,
the comparison is as follows on an ext4 filesystem:
With this patch:
$ du -s usr
195828 usr/
Without this patch:
$ du -s usr
198224 usr/
Which is a difference of 2.396 MiB.
To reduce the filesystem footprint of the Python installation, some
files are now being removed and only one level of their pycache
(non-optimized) is being kept.
These particular files were chosen for their size and the fact that they
are autogenerated, thus hard to read.
Patch 189 is still applied conditionally, so we need to use %autosetup with -N,
to prevent automatic patch application.
Later, the patches are applied automatically up to 188 (with -M for maximum),
patch 189 is applied conditionally,
and finally patches from 190 up are applied (with -m for minimum).
Once patch 189 is reworked to be applicable at all times (or removed), this can be dropped.
While not necessary shorter, this no longer requires adding/removing %patch XYZ
when adding/removing patches.
While at it, we also use git am to apply the patches
since they are all generated from git anyway.
This makes it easier if we ever patch binary files.
