This makes it possible to build and install the module without directly
invoking setup.py which has been deprecated.
Retain the setup.py script for backwards-compatibility.
Update INSTALL to mention the new config-file.

With Python distutils and setuptools going deprecated, remove
integration with autotools. This integration is causing issues
in modern environments.
Note that setup.py is still left in place under the py/ folder.
Update INSTALL file to refer to Python support and setup.py.

This allows to disable linking the >400 KB big libgmp and replace it
with the builtin mini-gmp which only increases size by ~30KB.
Enabling this selectively decreases debugging verbosity (pr_debug).
