Hi all,

My change is to allow macOS users to pick their own Python version for Pyuno. 
This is mostly intended for the MacPorts build but it can be applied to any 
user on macOS wanting to build the source to use with their own version of 
Python. The new option --enable-bogus-system-python is marked as not 
recommended to signal that this is not typically used. Unlike the 
bogus-pkg-config check, it does not test whether the Python version specified 
is actually 'bogus' (broken).

On macOS, /usr/bin/python3 can exist but without Xcode et al installed it is a 
stub. After Xcode et al is installed, it is a valid Python installation to 
build against. Note that MacPorts links against its own Python 3 implementation 
and not Apple's.

MacPorts port data: 
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/tree/master/office/libreoffice (the 
webdav patch is already in https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/108262 )

We want to limit the amount of packages and duplicates of things like Python 
implementations. And as with all packages (ports) generally, our goal is to be 
able to build LibreOffice in the MacPorts environment without patches.

Thanks
