Can't write plugins solely with `--enable-python-plugins`

Description

If the user builds and install the project:

./configure --enable-python-plugins
make
make install

They won't be able to do the import bt2 necessary to start defining their BT2 plugin.
To write a Python plugin , the user needs to use the Python bindings as well.

The user gets this:

>>> import bt2
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bt2'

We could either:
  1. turn on `--enable-python-bindings` whenever `--enable-python-plugins` is enabled,
  2. error out during the ./configure if `--enable-python-bindings` is not provided.

I would suggest that using --enable-python-plugins automatically enables the python bindings, as long as --disable-python-bindings is not provided. In other words, this table:

plugins | bindings 
--------+---------
missing | missing  -> both disabled
missing | enable   -> plugins disabled, bindings enabled
missing | disable  -> both disabled
enable  | missing  -> both enabled
enable  | enable   -> both enabled
enable  | disable  -> error
disable | missing  -> both disabled
disable | enable   -> plugins disabled, bindings enabled
disable | disable  -> both disabled

Merge into master, should be merged in stable 2.0.
