[python3] Python3 needs Pyhon3 to build Python3

[TrueBrain]

Till four days ago, it was possible to install Python3 in vcpkg without having Python3 system-wide installed. Since 4 days ago (and specifically, this commit and line: https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/commit/c6928dfb9eb7f333f988d2ce70d1e771b7606849#diff-f682e6e46ef0d0dae2ceba81d191975da58a84cbdab4811a0e84683442265461R245 ) that is no longer the case.

We use vcpkg to build a linux-generic binary with a very old libc so as many people as possible can run it on their system. Basically, it based on quay.io/pypa/manylinux2014_x86_64. Sadly, having a system-wide Python3 on that is very challenging, one that vcpkg was resolving for us. But .. no longer :(

Would be really appreciated if Python3 can be build again without needing Python3 to start with! Tnx :)

Package: python3:x64-linux -> 3.11.4#1

Host Environment

• Host: x64-linux
• Compiler: GNU 10.2.1
• vcpkg-tool version: 2023-08-09-9990a4c9026811a312cb2af78bf77f3d9d288416 vcpkg-scripts version: 0fa8459 2023-08-11 (34 hours ago)

Disabling the following lines fixes my issue:

https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/blob/c6928dfb9eb7f333f988d2ce70d1e771b7606849/ports/python3/portfile.cmake#L245-L246

After which Python builds and functions as expected.

Since we don't touch stuff that needs regeneration, we don't need to set PYTHON_FOR_REGEN. Please test #33132

As that is exactly the patch I am currently applying to my builds, can confirm, fixes the issue :)
