The code in CPython uses XML_SetReparseDeferralEnabled when expat is >= 2.6 during the build.
However, when users upgrade Python independently on the expat package,
they may have expat 2.5 installed and see errors like:
$ python3.1X -m venv venv
Error: Command '['venv/bin/python3.1X', '-m', 'ensurepip', '--upgrade', '--default-pip']' returned non-zero exit status 1.
$ venv/bin/python3.1X -m ensurepip --upgrade --default-pip

mimalloc provide is only declared in -libs subpackage, although
it's present also in -devel, -debug, -freethreading and
-freethreading-debug. All of those effectively require -libs, so
duplicating the provide accross all those was deemed unnecessary.
Patch 00371 was removed as it no longer applies after
33da0e844c
We need to monitor the freeipa situation and rework the patch entirely in
case it is still needed.

- Don't bother listing %dirs and __pycache__ and *.py, list entire directories
- Keep pure Python and extension modules separated
- Sort things
- Macronize the list of extension modules for -debug
