[PATCH] python3: drop old nis module dependencies

[PATCH] python3: drop old nis module dependencies

[Guðni Már Gilbert]

libnsl2 and libtirpc were build dependencies for the nis module.

The nis module was deprecated in Python 3.11 and removed in Python 3.13

I'm 90% sure these build dependencies are not needed anymore, See: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/104897

Hopefully I didn't missing anything. The build succeeds locally for me. It would be nice to have another set of eyes to review this :) Fewer dependencies is always nice if possible.

Well spotted, removing things like this is definitely desirable!

I think this patch causes xwayland to break as it was seeing libtirpc
through python's dependency but that is a bug in the xwayland recipe we
should find separately, I've sent a patch. I'll retry testing and see
if anything else shows up.

Cheers,
