[poky] nativesdk-python3 support for mingw

[Dominik Holland]

Actually that's really the case. Still a lot of companies require the
use of windows also for development.

As our tooling requires python3, it would be great if it can be
cross-compiled for windows and packaged into the SDK.

I've seen other solutions which download precompiled binaries and
install these into the SDK, but in my opinion this is more a hack than a
real solution...
