python: Avoid exceeding command-line length limit
With Python implementations following PEP-3174, a large number of files
are installed in the ‘__pycache__’ directory. As a consequence
“t/instmany-python.sh” test was failing due to the
‘uninstall-pythonPYTHON’ target deleting installed files in a single
‘rm’ command. Doing that in multiple steps avoids exceeding the
command-line length limit. This fixes bug#30335.

port elisp-compilation support to emacs-23.1 and newer
In May of 2017, emacs.master support for using the long-deprecated

'mdate-sh' pretty-prints the modification time of a file. But it's
output can vary depending on the timezone of the caller. Someone in

compile: remove .Tpo file upon failure
When generating a .deps/base.Po file, our emitted rule first writes
to a temporary .Tpo file, so the final creation can be atomic, via
mv's rename. However, when generation of the .Tpo fails, it stop the
process and does not remove that temporary file. And nothing else
ever deletes it, either. Hence, in the unusual case in which one
expects a compilation to fail during a successful build (gnulib's
test-verify.sh does precisely this), a .deps/test-verify.Tpo file
would be left behind, and that would in turn cause a "make distcheck"
failure because that file would exist in one build+distclean hierarchy
but not in the distribution tarball.
