Details:

Arch Linux uses the ending ".so" for its main Python3 library (as in
"libpython3.3m.so") but Python3 itself reports the desired ending for dynamic
libraries as ".cpython-33m.so". This confused AX_PYTHON_DEVEL when it tried to
strip the ending from libpython. The attached fix tries to strip the ending
$ac_python_soext from the library file name first (as before). If that does
not work, it additionally tries to strip ".so".

(This issue is independent from my recently submitted patch here:

https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?7951

However, both patches are necessary to make the Python-related autoconf macros
work on Arch Linux.)
