Over time, it has cost us more developer cycles than it has gained.
It has hidden intermittant bugs, and allowed cruft to accumulate:
when we eventually tried to figure out what was going wrong, the
actual change which caused it was now stale and forgotten.
This was a particular bane during the connectd rewrite, and I
worked through some issues which had occurred before, but were not
more likely.

Turns out that the pyln-proto dependency in the bolt packages is only
needed for testing, not for production. Making it a dev-dependency
means it isn't considered in resolution anymore.
Since the bolt, testing and client packages are to be used outside
from the project we can't use relative dependencies either, so make
then dependent on the version on PyPI. This also means we had to push
a couple of updated to PyPI.
Changelog-None
Unfortunately we can't do any smart parsing here since
wiregen does not support switch/type cases for different
substructure unions yet. So just give us a pointer we can use.
When downloading a python package from the PyPI repository the links
where pointing to a non-existent parent directory, thus breaking the
packages. The files don't ever change, and are really simple, so let's
just materialize them.
This centralizes the setup.py file, and parametrizes it so it can
auto-detect which bolt we are building. It also uses trick 3 from [1]
to avoid importing the package itself during the manifest creation,
which'd cause an import error due to missing dependencies.

Now they look like 1.0.1.137, so you can explicitly depend on a csv change
(without caring about a textual change).

They're almost entirely autogenerated, and we use symlinks into the
top directory to reduce replication.
They can't be under pyln.spec.message, because a package can't also
be a namespace.
We also add fulltext and desc fields, and exclude our "gen" files from
flake8, since the spec quotes contain weird whitespace.
Changelog-Added: Python: pyln.spec.bolt{1,2,4,7} packages.
