Maximilian Bosch b4a4d98c52 vde2: build with --disable-python by default
This package explicitly depends on `python2` which will be EOLed at the
end of the year[1]. This package provides python bindings for `python2`,
however the latest release (also used by other distros) is from 2011[2]
and doesn't support v3. For instance, debian ships `vde2` without
`python2` support since Debian Jessie[3].

KVM and QEMU appear to build fine, also NixOS tests and ISO builds are
still functional.

By running `nix-review` against this change, only `xen` packages failed,
but those were already broken on master[4].

Finally it's also worth mentioning that the closure size of `vde2` drops
from 99.5M to 33.5M without `python2` according to `nix path-info -S -h`.

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:

% git remote add channels https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git

For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-19.03 for the latest release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:

% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-19.03

For pull requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.

NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside nixos/ folder.
