* Revert "Port several python scripts to Perl"wm42016-12-171-24/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit fae73079310eef9dce9737f2e37ff4b80c8830ee. Before the waf build system was used, we had a configure script written in shell. To drop the build dependency on Python, someone rewrote the Python scripts we had to Perl. Now the shell configure script is gone, and it makes no sense to have a build dependency on both Perl and Python. This isn't just a straight revert. It adds the new Matroska EBML elements to the old Python scripts, adjusts the waf build system, and of course doesn't add anything back needed by the old build system. It would be better if this used matroska.py/file2string.py directly by importing them as modules, instead of calling them via "python". But for now this is simpler.

file2string.pl and vdpau_functions.pl are direct ports. matroska.py was reimplemented as the Parse::Matroska module in CPAN, and matroska.pl was made a client of Parse::Matroska. A copy of Parse::Matroska is included in TOOLS/lib, and matroska.pl looks there first when trying to load the module. osxbundle.py was not ported since I have no means to verify it. Python is always available on OSX though, so there is no harm in removing the check for it on configure.
