Tarballs are now provided for libevdev, so use that instead of the Git
repository, as it allows to avoid autoreconf for the package.

In commit 79c31e3297 ("package/libevdev:
add dependency on host-python"), Yann added a dependency of libevdev
on host-python, because the Python script in evdev was using argparse
which is only available since Python 2.6. At the time, this was
causing failures on machines that were using Python versions older
than 2.6.
However, since Yann's patch, the libevdev version has been bumped. And
one of the upstream commit,
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libevdev/commit/libevdev/?id=cea8f0b8cc86332b0643acd62f24f9fef2ecc153,
was precisely made to remove the argparse dependency to avoid the
need to have a >= 2.6 Python version.
Thanks to this, we can avoid the host-python dependency and rely on
the system-installed Python version instead.

libevdev depends on host-python because of some of its build scripts.
These build scripts support python2 and python3.
When python3 is part of the target selection, then we can just use the
interpreter provided by the host-python3 package.
