[yocto] How to add a module to python-native

[Burton, Ross]

You'll need to run $bindir_native/python/python, we isolate the native
Python from the host python so you need to invoke the native one
explicitly.  In a recipe you can just do inherit pythonnative, but
don't do that in a class which every recipe is inheriting!
