[Modules] More Pythonic initialization for Modules

[Xavier D. v. lists.hpsf.i. <xav...@li...>]

Dear All,

Modules initialization script for Python has been renamed "env_modules.py"
and new installation options
--enable-set-pythonpath/--enable-append-pythonpath have been introduced to
provide a better "Pythonic" way to initialize the "module" Python function.

With --enable-set-pythonpath (enabled by default), PYTHONPATH is defined
when initializing Modules in the shell: "init" directory is added to this
variable.

With this change, it is now possible to initialize the "module" Python
function this way:

from env_modules import module

Note that a compatibility link "python.py" is created over "env_modules.py"
to maintain compatibility.

Many thanks to Byron Boulton for his contribution on this new feature.

Regards,
Xavier
