[PATCH] python: replace hardcoding of SONAME version

Failing to update this string in globals.py causes failures when the
SONAME changes.  In order to hopefully reduce the number of such
errors, automate the process of setting the SONAME in the python
bindings.

After hitting the mismatch again while working on the count API, I
decided to try to fix it.
