This change forces pyo3 to use python from a shared library when using Anaconda python distributions. Currently cargo test fails with:
unless you match the gcc version with Anaconda's.
Anaconda includes both static and shared versions of python however the python executable is static, so build.rs pyo3 embeds the libpython*.a file, built with Anaconda's gcc 7.3.
This causes the tests and downstream crates to see it also and breaks builds where a different version of gcc is used as the LTO versions in the archive become unsupported.
With this change we always use the .so and avoid any embedded LTO issues altogether.
