When compiling jailhouse with BR2_PACKAGE_JAILHOUSE_HELPER_SCRIPTS=y,
build is failing with error:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/buildroot/output/build/jailhouse-e57d1eff6d55aeed5f977fe4e2acfb6ccbdd7560/setup.py", line 18, in <module>
        setup(name="pyjailhouse", version=version,
      File "/buildroot/output/host/lib/python3.12/site-packages/setuptools/__init__.py", line 108, in setup
        return distutils.core.setup(**attrs)
               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
      ...
      File "/buildroot/output/host/lib/python3.12/sysconfig.py", line 549, in _init_posix
        _temp = __import__(name, globals(), locals(), ['build_time_vars'], 0)
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    ValueError: Empty module name

This is due to a missing dependency on the target python3 package.

Jailhouse Python scripts are using setuptools with host-python3 which
reads its sysconfig data from the target-python3. See:
https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot/-/blob/2024.08.1/package/pkg-python.mk?ref_type=tags#L33

If the target python3 is not installed, this get expanded as an empty
string, leading to this "ValueError: Empty module name" error.

Pure Python packages which are using the python-package infrastructure
usually get this dependency automatically from:
https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot/-/blob/2024.08.1/package/pkg-python.mk?ref_type=tags#L295

Here, the jailhouse package rather uses the generic-package
infrastructure, then installs the Python scripts (if enabled) with
dedicated macros. This is why the target python3 is needed.

This commit fixes the issue by adding this missing dependency.
