net/py-ldaptor: Limit to 2.7 (Does not support Python 3.x)

This port depends on Twisted, which supports Python 3.x as of a number of
versions ago for some growing number of its components. On initial view, ldaptor
appears inconsistent (at least not explicit) in its state of Python 3.x support
for its latest version (16.0.0, not this ports version, 0.0.43)

- A Python 3 compatible wheel is available on PyPI
- Python 3.3-3.5 are included in tox.ini for testing

However:

- Travis CI configuration only tests with 2.7
- Open "Python3 support #55" upstream issue [1]

Additionally, Twisted/Python3 support aside, test builds (without USES=twisted
declared), results in a build error at configure time:

  SyntaxError: invalid syntax

This change limits build support to Python 2.7 accordingly.

While I'm here:

- Pet portlint: LICENSE [2], PLIST_FILES, makepatch.

Use setuptools for all Python ports.

Setuptools is the preferred method to manage Python distributions after
many changes to the packaging ecosystem over the past couple of years.

Only ports using USE_PYDISTUTILS= yes are affected by this commit, ports using
USE_PYDISTUTILS= easy_install remains the same however this usage is now
deprecated and should be converted to USE_PYDISTUTILS= yes.

Some Python distributions do not work with setuptools out of the box because
they extend the install command from distutils and not setuptools, and
so they need to be patched accordingly.

pip (which leverages setuptools) works around the issue by using eggs, however
we want to get rid of those as well, as support for "flat" installation is
