qemu: Remove broken/unneeded PYTHONPATH

Qemu uses the host-python when building, but the .mk file is pointing the host-python interpreter to the target python site-packages, which is both incorrect and also unneeded.

Qemu doesn't need any extra packages [1], so there's no need to provide this path. And indeed qemu builds fine when setting the path to a non-existent directory.

Since target qemu neither depends on nor selects target python, it's quite possible to build qemu without a target python, in which case the supplied PYTHONPATH is a non-existent directory.

But even if qemu did want a python package, pointing the host-python to the target site-packages will not work. The package could contain a compiled shared library for the target architecture that the host python can not load. This can be tested by adding "import numpy" to one of qemu's python scripts and observing target python-numpy failing to load when the script is run at build time.

Hello,

Applied to master, thanks.
