Aneesh Agrawal 0f9ece7929 libevent: remove Python dependency
Python is only used for one test, which is optional and is skipped if
Python is not detected. Additionally, Python 2 is required (Python 3
does not work), so remove the dependency to reduce the closure size for
a Python 3 as default Python future.

Additionally, update the meta.homepage and src to point at GitHub, which
is the libevent project home since 2015-10-07.

longDescription = ''
The libevent API provides a mechanism to execute a callback function
when a specific event occurs on a file descriptor or after a timeout
has been reached. Furthermore, libevent also support callbacks due
to signals or regular timeouts.
libevent is meant to replace the event loop found in event driven
network servers. An application just needs to call event_dispatch()
and then add or remove events dynamically without having to change
the event loop.
