[issue15819] Unable to build Python out-of-tree when source tree is readonly.

New submission from Trent Nelson: This is somewhat related to Issue #9860. You can't currently build Python out-of-tree when the source directory is readonly. This is because there are a few Parser/pgen/AST/python_asdl.py steps that try and write to $(srcdir). The attached patch fixes this.
