python-thrift: new package

Add Python bindings for the Apache Thrift RPC.

Thrift is an interface definition language that is used to define and create
services for numerous languages using remote procedure calls (RPC).

This patch does not include the Thrift code generator. It only includes the
Thrift libraries used at runtime.
