[libvirt] [PATCH 3/1] build: avoid python 2.4 build failure

I'm not sure when Py_ssize_t was introduced; but Fedora 14 Python 2.7
has it, while RHEL 5 Python 2.4 lacks it.

* python/typewrappers.h (Py_ssize_t): Define for older python.
---

This was the remaining patch needed to complete a build on RHEL 5,
but I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do (or what the right
maximum version would be for defining Py_ssize_t ourselves).
