[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/1] tools: conditionally disable python libfdt wrapper

Not all host systems want the default swig to be
used when building the tools.  Allow for the
disabling of the wrapper to enable cross-compiling
of the tools on a host system with swig.

I'm open for suggestions on what updates to make to
enable the wrapper building to use prefix/destdir that
point python/swig in the right place to the sysroot/host
tools/libs for building of the tools.

Example build failure when buildroot is trying to build
target/host uboot-tools and the host systems OS is detecting swig.
The intention would be the buildroot built host python/swig
should be used for the detect and as the tools assisting in the
build.
