util-linux-libuuid, make python bindings optional

util-linux-libuuid/2.39.2

I hope this will fix the compilation in debug mode, see https://ci.appveyor.com/project/basiliscos/cpp-rotor/builds/49638104/job/2pg3xasvpoof4h8x

checking for ECONF... no
checking whether C:\Python38-x64 version is >= 2... no
configure: error: Python interpreter is too old
util-linux-libuuid/2.39.2: ERROR: 
Package '659f5046bee3c5a8463ca82f0ce7aaba50748d87' build failed

i.e. it find some old win32 python, while it is building in linux-on-windows, and than fails.

• I've read the contributing guidelines.
• I've used a recent Conan client version close to the currently deployed.
• I've tried at least one configuration locally with the conan-center hook activated.

Minor comment, I would rename the option to avoid a negative, so with_python (or even better, with_python_bindings). Then if it's false, then set the flag.

There are some... issues with wanting to build them, as if you really wanted them then we should be using the CPython package, which would depend on this. There would probably have to be a chain:
Build context:
util-linux-libuuid (no bindings) -> cpython
Host context:
util-linux-libuuid (bindings)

But that's a separate problem. I agree that if they were failing to be built anyways, then we shouldn't include them by default.

Thanks! My main concern here is that some people might be relying on having these by default - if this is fixing a specific configuration, maybe modifying the setting in the config_option method in that case would work best?

[basiliscos]

@RubenRBS any news so far? It does not matter what is the default, i.e. on or off, but the option is definitely needed.
