Build both pycryptodomex and pycrytodome

Alexis Murzeau requested to merge amurzeau/pycryptodome:build-pycryptodome-and-pycryptodomex-pr into debian/master

Before this commit, pycryptodome was building the Cryptodome Python module only.

This commit add the package python3-pycryptodome-crypto containing the Python module Crypto.

In the long term, the new python3-pycryptodome-crypto might replace python3-crypto which is not maintained anymore upstream.

Both packages are built at the same time alternatively by overriding debian/rules targets and calling them with and without .separate_namespace. The file .separate_namespace control whether setup.py will generate Crypto or Cryptodome Python modules.

A patch is added to add a static variable as a salt so built binaries are not the same between python3-pycryptodome and python3-pycryptodome-crypto. This way, auto-generated debug packages (-dbgsym) don't have conflicting files. Without this salt, most if not all compiled libraries are exactly the same which cause the generated dbgsym packages to have duplicate files.
