python: remove relics for Python 1.5 support

* m4/python.m4: The comments in here claim to support only
Python >= 2.0, yet this file still has specific support for
Python 1.5.  Just remove it, python 1.5 is 12 years old now,
and practically defunct.
* NEWS: Update.

See also commit `Release-1-10-205-gd5bec12', "Support for
Python 3.0, drop support for pre-2.0."

+  - The last relics of Python 1.5 support have been removed from the
+    AM_PATH_PYTHON macro.

   - The `lzma' compression scheme and associated automake option `dist-lzma'
     is obsoleted by `xz' and `dist-xz' due to upstream changes.
