Make adPython work on Windows. Change how adPython calls into the embedded Python to use PyGILState_Ensure() and PyGILState_Release() which is appropriate for calling from non-Python-created threads which is the case for adPython which is called from areaDetector-created threads. Without this change, adPython hangs on Windows. The Python calling idiom is documented in the following: * https://docs.python.org/2/c-api/init.html#non-python-created-threads * https://stackoverflow.com/a/4975906 * https://bugs.python.org/issue1720250#msg57619 Install the plugin scripts so that adPython can reference an installed pathname rather than a source pathname. Remove the automatic determination of the Python version, include pathnames, library pathnames, etc. by executing external commands from Make since it did not work on Windows. Replace that with explicit definitions in configure/CONFIG_SITE.
