[PATCH] configure: check existence of python3 setuptools and dev package

The notmuch2 CFFI-based Python interface is not buildable unless
python3 dev package and python3 setuptools are installed.

Check that these exist in configure (and disable notmuch2 bindings
build if not) so that build of these bindings don't fail when make(1)
is executed.
