[Bug 1850049] [NEW] python3.X-config --includes is listing too many directories

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Public bug reported:

+ python2.7-config --includes
-I/usr/include/python2.7 -I/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/python2.7
+ set +x
+ python3.7-config --includes
-I/usr/include/python3.7m -I/usr/include/python3.7m
+ set +x
+ python3.8-config --includes
-I/usr/include/python3.8 -I/usr/include/python3.8

However, given that /usr/include/python*/pyconfig.h is now magical, imho
only one include location should be printed, not two, across all
pythons.

... unless of course that will break things. In that case, at least
python2.7-config should also print identical duplicate.
