Find dynamic Python library that will be bundled with frozen executable.
NOTOE: This is a fallback option when Python library is probably linked
statically with the Python executable and we need to search more for it.
On Debian/Ubuntu this is the case.
Return full path to Python dynamic library or None when not found.
We need to know name of the Python dynamic library for the bootloader.
Bootloader has to know what library to load and not trying to guess.
Some linux distributions (. debian-based) statically build the
Python executable to the libpython, so bindepend doesn't include
it in its output. In this situation let's try to find it.
Darwin custom builds could possibly also have non-framework style libraries,
so this method also checks for that variant as well.
