[BUG]
Currently with python3.12, the python bindding will always result the following warning:

    [PY]     libbtrfsutil
/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/setuptools/_distutils/extension.py:134: UserWarning: Unknown Extension options: 'headers'
  warnings.warn(msg)

[CAUSE]
In the setup.py which specifies the files to be included into the package, we use setuptools::Extension to specify the file lists and include paths.

But there is no handling of Extension::headers member, thus resulting the above warning.

[FIX]
Not an expert in python, but other packages like cffi are all using package_data to include the headers, so just follow them to use package_data member for headers.

Fixes: 87c3fb5 ("libbtrfsutil: update python setup.py for distribution")

Provide at least basic description of the library for pypi.org main
page. It's for libbtrfsutil that mentions the C and python usage.

Added a new patch to fix the python packaging error.

This mostly reverts the commit 8f1f2e7 ("libbtrfsutil: update
btrfsutil long description").

There is no need to introduce such a drama to create a temporary
pypi-README.md, just reuse the existing one in libbtrfsutil/README.md.

This does not only make the code simpler, but pass CI.

The existing setup.py is a disaster, as it doesn't work for venv builds.

Furthermore it doesn't follow the common python packaging directory hierarchy, it will be much better to do a rework on the build system so that at least venv build can work properly.
