[issue10262] Add --disable-abi-flags option to `configure`

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc amaur...@gmail.com added the comment: I agree with the intent: package maintainers, or people compiling python for their own need, should have the right to choose the suffix used by extension modules. I suggest another option though, one that directly sets the SOABI used
